Blending tree trunks together here @ 8:12. These trees are tough and I can bend and shape them all day long without breaking them. If you master modeling a tree, you will eventually master the basic model railroad scene. This is an annotated abstract on my philosophical approach, and methodology, when I model distinct tree species in HO 1/87 Scale. In this case - a few examples of Pacific Northwest Trees.

Regardless of scale, a Tree can be one of the most difficult subjects to model when trying to achieve a specific look. This method works well in any scale and can be improved upon as one develops greater skill. They require some research and practice but the results can be quite stunning. Furthermore, one well modeled tree can enhance a multiplicity of other generic trees in support.
