Thank you so much for sharing this information. I am a tree house builder in Miami, and a hobby beer brewer. I have a 9 tap keezer that I am building some, you guessed it, tree house tap handles for. I was able to source some miniature fairy houses, but none of the trees available have been off the quality of yours. I am going to attempt your construction method!

Great video Craig 👍 I’ve been using WS tree armatures and sea foam branches on Cambewarra so far and generally I’ve been pleased with the results. Using the Luke Towan method. Looking forward to having a go using your technique to make some variations to the trunks and branches. Like the poly fibre idea to hold the foliage to, sea foam can be fragile and fiddly to fix to the main branches, not cheap either, nearly $50 a box. Thank you for taking the time to make and share this tutorial 👍
Thanks Gary. It's good to hear you found it useful. Like most things, sea foam has its uses (if one can afford it). I think it's useful as foliage, or if viewed from above, but its weakness is unconvincing trunks, and as you say, its fragility. I've converted a couple of WS armatures (that come in packs of fine leaf foliage) into reasonable-looking angophoras for the background. However, even painted, plastic still looks like plastic to my eye. Cambewarra is looking great by the way - congratulations. Cheers
@@burrawonbranchmodelrailway5886 the last couple of trees I added a couple of different Liqitex texture pastes to the trunks and some colour to represent bark…. made a huge difference to the finished tree. Thanks for your kind words. Just about ready for another update 👍
Great tutorial showing a relatively simple, but very effective way to construct diorama trees!
Thank you for sharing
Thanks Jim. Pleased to hear you found it interesting. Cheers!
Lovely bit of work, thank you so much for sharing your technique. Similar tree format to South African styles - most appreciated.
Many thanks. Pleased to hear you found it useful. Cheers

@@garylaker4335 I'll try Liqitex texture paste on some upcoming trees. Thanks for the tip. Looking forward to your update.
Great video. Thanks for sharing your tips. Where do you source the poly fibre from?
Great stuff. Lots of good ideas and the end results are great.
Thanks Chris. I'm pleased you found it useful. Cheers
Excellent lesson, thank you!
Many thanks. Cheers
Great video!!
Thanks Jason. Cheers.
make it a little bigger and I think it'll work well for wargaming as well
I use slightly heavier wire for large trees, eg 0.7mm.
@@burrawonbranchmodelrailway5886 I like to mix it up a bit, I use four or five strands of something thick and then use thinner stuff for branches
