Thanks Zoegraf for that wonderfull picture!!
right now I am trying to modell some young "small sequoias..
about 10-12 inches... for a 0n3 logging layout...
It is( as usual!!) far more diffecult as I thought it could be!!!
here a picture of the results so far...the foliage looks like it is still to "airy" for some very young healthy sequoias!
these trees are not common in my country , only some in big large parks around old castles or so....so I have to search and watch and make pictures of them...

You'r right Munch but the information about how to make these typical pine/firtrees is "devided"in many pages so...Jos
Are your trunks made in the same fashion of spinning the wire with a drill method too then?

The bark is made totaly out of very fine sieved sawDUST( from MDF)...some minutes after adding the sawdust on the frame, mostly at least 2 or 3 layers, I "draw" with the point of an exacto knife/blade the relief/"small lines" in the bark...let it dry and it will be as strong as wood! (he he... just like real...)what do you do for the bark (sawdust)?
Thanks Zoegraf for that wonderfull picture!!

All the sequoias are ready and planted on a piece of foamboard...
let them grow for another 3000 years!

Here's a a shot of me on a red cedar in BC Canada so tall I couldn't get all of it into frame and a shot of a stunted yellow cedar that is 1200 years old. Also me next to a snag (dead tree) that has died many years ago. They appear silver in colour at dusk when the sun hits them. The sang is about 80 meters high and that is with its top missing.
That first photo looks like something out of a movie like Lord or the Rings or somesuch. Dang that's beautiful.
