Modelling trees using bent wire & microfibre
Gah! I was sure I'd kept a link to a blog from a guy in Europe (Sweden maybe?) who scratchbuilt amazing model trees. All I can remember is that he used wire frames, a fine mesh material and scatter, and the results were amazing, really lifelike and he explained how to make various species. Been trawling the web for hours and not found it, what I have found look like toys by comparison. I was certain I'd kept a bookmark. Ah well, old age...
Any ideas? It's driving me mad Thanks Pete Last edited by meurglysIII; 22nd August 2011 at 13:08.

Hi Pete,
Could it be Anders Bondesson by any chance? His trees look pretty good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2D-LvZwT0Uc

Oops missed this
Thanks Swiss, I don't think that's the guy but he's good. The one I'm thinking about was a blog rather than youtube, and the best looking model trees I have ever seen. Still not found the link...  Thanks anyway!

First attempt at a tree
Well here it is, my first attempt, using jos's methods. I have no idea what type of tree it might coincidentally resemble.
I'm not particularly happy with it, I used clumps of lichen foliage when I should have scatttered Noch leaves over the sprayglued frame. I've also got some static grass on the way, which might serve better than the generic microfibres I was using for the smaller branches. I've made the frame of an ash tree so will do that next, off to re-read the instructions.... Pete Last edited by meurglysIII; 20th August 2011 at 21:11.
