Jack374 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Jaz, Those trees really are stunning.......don't think I'd have the patience to do them They'll really look the part once in situ and when done with leaves (unless portrayed in Winter...) Great Modelling. Jack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Ok I may have this problem resolved. The dog is the smaller dobermann the chocolate instead of the black. The post was to be a joke. Because she ate one of my trees, and I mentioned it earlier on our thread. I was going to say...when I leave the room I put the tree on high ground in case she gets hungry!!!!! Ok expect trees.

Kal Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) Herja, she has a sister too called Kara , named for the sisters of the Valkyrie Edited January 28, 2014 by Kal 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) Herja means devastate Kara means wild stormy one Just in case anyone wishes to meet them when we are not at home I am sure everyone knows what a Valkyrie is, but for those that do not, they were mythological creatures that decided who would live and who would visit Valhalla.

Jaz Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 success The Beech tree is usually seen as grey, and this will be the predominant colour on this exercise Now we could do green grass, BUT I plan to add moss so green on green won't look good And thankfully Beech Trees normally have a lot of leaf litter, so the ground is first coloured brown rmweb402trees58 and a few shadows added rmweb403trees59 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I start to introduce the greens for the moss, moss normally grows on one side of a tree rmweb404trees60 A different angle rmweb405trees61 I have used Citadel paints Camo Colour and Gretchin Green 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack374 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 WOW...... Really starting to come together now....you should be well proud B) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I start to add some colour to the painted brown area of the base small chopped cork some woodland scenics blended turf, earth blend, green blend, burnt grass, some brown scatter and black scatter, ensuring there is some in the grooves etc rmweb406trees62 rmweb407trees63 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Time to 'cover' the dark shadows so the black gives depth rather than screams at you the side with no moss rmweb408trees64 A side with moss rmweb409trees65 side on rmweb410trees66 slowly building up the colour with the darker in the grooves,and some fine turf on the green painted moss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
7APT7 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 blooming heck Jaz That looks the dogs bl***ks mate, a total change from the first few photos lol you have pulled that out of the bag big time.... where will you be placing that on your layout then.... You want to bag that and sell them along with your water features. Jamie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 FYI I got a bit carried away with the size, and once I raised it on a plinth it grew to a whopping 40cm which as we all know 4mm to the foot = 100ft!!! Without the root lift it was merely 30cm or 75ft, of which there are plenty of examples. There are specimens this big, the biggest appears to be 151ft, but those big specimens are few and far between. So when I said I fancied a Great tree I was not far wrong. Some tweaking of the colours. Once i have the canopy in place it will get photographed upstairs in much better light. but thou can see the black now makes great crevices. rmweb411trees67 A different angle rmweb412trees68 The green painted moss had had some green foam turf added rmweb413trees69 the side with no moss, I have some leave t drop ere too when I can locate the little devils - I can only find the green and they are no right for here. rmweb414trees70 Beeches tend to have lovely pale green leaves n early spring changing to a deep green, before changing to a dried out brown which stays on the tree until strong winds remove them, over a less windy winter the leaves can hold for ages. I am about to go see which campy colour is going to get chosen for this tree. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
7APT7 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 one of THE BEST trees I have seen made by far Jaz, well done... Jamie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
@Jc Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 That tree is an awesome creation Jaz. I would never have the patience or the skill to make something similar. How about adding a birds nest? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emt_911 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Jaz That tree is amazing. Stunning work. :fan: Just for information (just in case anyone doesn't know). If you're worried about the orientation of trees to the layout, moss is predominantly on the northern side. Duncan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Well I have just got all the branches in the canopy sorted, and still have some flex bark to add more. So tomorrow, I need to do the leaves, I plan to add a nest, also some mushrooms, some dead leaves on the floor, some ivy perhaps on a post but maybe on the tree, and perhaps a couple of seedlings. But for now...time for bed said Zeberdee. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) A reference for my tree, I suspect they must be the remains of a forest, and the roots are perhaps caused by erosion dartmorrcam.co.uk I came across this and thought, oh this will be of interest Orange-colored galls, such as these pictured in 2010, from the beech tree forests of Patagonia have been found to harbor the yeast that makes lager beer possible. Five hundred years ago, in the age of sail and when the trans-Atlantic trade was just beginning, the yeast somehow made its way from Patagonia to the caves and monastery cellars of Bavaria where the first lager beers were fermented. University of Wisconsin–Madison Genetics Professor Chris Todd Hittinger and colleagues from Portugal, Argentina and the University of Colorado describe the lager yeast, whose origin was previously unknown.
