Hi!

I made this video tutorial on how to make a very realistic Pine tree in less than one minute. It´s a well known and proven method in five simple steps of making Pine trees for any scale model railroad layout by using Spirea flowers. Quick and almost for free for your model railroad / Railway, tabletop fantasy or diorama scenery.

Hope you like it and have good use of it.

Tons of that stuff growing around here.

It grows wild here in western washington. I have used it before but didn't soak it. After several months all my trees were covered in webs. I think the eggs were in the plants. Soaking in softener and alcohol likely would have put an end to the tiny spiders. I picked some the other day and its in a sealed bag. Just an experiment to see what else might be living in there. Its quick, easy and makes acceptable trees. I am sure we will use more. Good video.
