You were not lying when you said bolt cutters! I just picked some gutter brushes up from Bunnings and on the way home realised I may need them - Thought wire cutters may do... Nup. Still loving the vids! Need to delve into the brewing ones soon
I wasn't expecting it to looks that good. It's amazing how simple it is to make trees like this and they look awesome too, which makes you equally awesome. Thanks for all the tips.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i have been trying to make trees for so many years, i have tryed almost every thing and nothing looks right, your way of doing it is the perfect answer those trees look awesome and so so simple i am now off to go buy me some of that stuff ill have forests in no time now :D thanks for sharing that with us mate your a life saver :D
Thank you so much for this one. I needed some trees and my local hobby store sold them for an insane price. And they look exactly the same. So im definitly gonna try it. Thanks mate.
Nice. Though I wonder if maybe you would want to spray paint them dark green or brown before flocking, just to make them have that extra level of colour depth.
Next trip to the Home Depot or Lowes (USA home improvement stores, Wal Mart is a general goods department store) I'm going to buy some of those leaf guards and, as you say, bugger it and give it a go. Yes I know that's vulgar, but I love the way you Aussies talk. Question, I don't make my own flock, would Woodland Scenics blended turf be appropriate?
The video is great and I am definitely going to use this. What made me subscribe to you however, was how you tried giving out suggestions to where international viewers could get their hands on the equipment. I seldom see that on youtube, so you deserve a sub more than most. (I am from Australia too btw)

I love this idea, I'm a new modeller for 28mm war games, I'm currently making an American war of independence Fort, these trees look pretty amazing, I have got some gutter brush from eBay, I think I got about 4 meters for about £8 bit of a bargain, the challenge is basing them, would it be better to base a few together on a piece of MDF rather than trying to stable them on a single round disc?
Luke at Luke's APS/ Geek Gaming sent me to your channel. Great stuff here. I'm subscribing, and looking forward to checking out your content. Cheers mate!
Hi, I tried out this method and ended up with nothing but a huge pile of fallen bristles and a splitting headache! Did you use a specific brand of gutter-guard? Did you need to prep it at all beforehand?
Awesome :)...I couldn't hear (on my cell) what the spray u used was or is called? I also wonder if u could use old fake christmas tree as they look simular as well... thanks for the video :)
The spray I use is from 3M called Super 77 ... it is a spray adhesive. You can use Christmas trees, they work very well. We dont often get them here in Australia unlike the US.
Caledonian - Sure ... I have a few historical armies milling around the place which really need some love and attention (and a paint brush), nothing massive but reasonable starter armies.
I'm having trouble stopping the flock from coming off the trees after I've made them. Anyone got any suggestions on how to keep the flock from falling off?

Looks great, nice to mix in a few differing shades for autumnal or spring feel to things.
Great job mate. Love how simple it was.
That's a great idea. Loving your vids mate
Outstanding idea, thanks for sharing! Going to give this a try when I get back to the States!

Nice! I had been trying to figure out an easy way to do spruce trees.

Actually I wonder of there aren't some other twisted wire products that might also work, chimney cleaning brushes maybe? I'll be keeping an eye out.
I've just started to make trees, so great idea on the pines. Have to go to Masters and buy some of that stuff.

Proper awesome viv. Its been added to my ''Helpful Wargamer Tips'' playlist. Thank you
Spud
They're called vice grips. :D
Great trees, btw!
They're pretty durable trees too. We've got some made like that in a club in geelong and they're still looking good after 10-15 years.
Joel Kviz Where on earth is the war gaming club in Geelong?... I couldn't find one till I moved up to Melbourne...

best tree tutorial I've seen! Thanks a lot!
Very cool...and if you can't find the gutter guards you could always use and old artificial Christmas tree limb...then do the same process....
Freeking awesome Viv. Yours look way better than the GW one. The premised one looked like it was made out of a loo brush!
Hey Susan! Viv got to see ya!!!!! Lucky guy!!!! Hope your all well:)
Thats cool very simple.. but boy it looks ace.
Inspired piece of home made terrain.

Cool stuff! I've always wondered if there was a product out there that could be cut up like that, and you've found it! Cheers!
Wow, that's awesome!
Hells Bells thats a great idea, thanks mate.
Amazing. You win forever.
Very nice. The spray is that glue spray? Are you going to do a tutorial on flock as well?
Hey mate, yep - its Super 77 from 3M. I did a tutorial for flock back in 2010 - I've added a link in the description of this video. Cheers
Thanks.

Thank you for the info and reply you rock! :D
What does it look like when you start with a dark flock, then roll it in a medium flock then dust in a light flock?
Blaize Rhodes i think that would look great! you see a lot of railway modellers doing that kind of stuff ... it's nice to have the variation
Great idea! :)
You are f*cking GENIUS. Keep going!
Crack7ng stuff Viv!! Great little vid...have you ever thought of tipping your toe into some 18th centry wargaming?
Caledonian - Sure ... I have a few historical armies milling around the place which really need some love and attention (and a paint brush), nothing massive but reasonable starter armies.
Can anyone tell me where I can find the Leaf Guard things in America? Texas especially?
I'm having trouble stopping the flock from coming off the trees after I've made them. Anyone got any suggestions on how to keep the flock from falling off?
Amazing!
love it!
Awesome! I'll try that!
Whait what? Home made flock??? Show me! :)
Cool very cool
Genius.
fantastic.
The tool is called "Mole grips"
What is that Spray called?
It's a spray adhesive ... I use Super 77 from 3M
genius....but the only gutter brush i can find is in lengths of 60ft and costs almost $200 :(
Fucking magic. Omg. subbed!
They are called Vice Grips.
Of course they are ... thanks!! :D
Actually, vise grips! (vice is crime ... vise is a tool for holding something in place)
"Bugrit! "....... Millenium hand an' shrimp?
In the States we call those grips "vice grips".
There called vice grips
They look like Christmas tree the old Christmas tree branches
you just cut up 80$....gutter brushs are not cheap. I don't know where you got 6$ from I cant find them under 80$
They are gutter guards not brushes. I just searched and found 4m ones for 20$
go for it I just got a pack of 30 realistic trees with foliage included for 20$
:)
