Actualy this is a reply on a post in a thread in the "crew lounge" and after watching carefuly what is was going about( the : crew lounge") I decided it would be better to put this post overhere...( I think

Poly fibers are just great materials to make the "green stuff" on any layout, O HO or N even Z..
They are made in several colors but I think you mostly have to "paint" those fibers because of the non-natural colors of it
I use the fibers too but I cut them first in very small parts( about 1/2 an inch), collect them in a large ( shoe)box and add /glue them on the frames by praying glue on the outsides of the twigs/branches..than directly after that: add some fine grassfibers at/over the outside of the braches with fibers and last: adding the leafs with a teasieve, like Ws fine turf in N/Z scale or coarse turf for HO scale. Also the leafs from Noch can ce used/glued on the colored fibers..
Any tree can be made by these fibers!
like a (Fagus) beechtree:


or Betula( birch) trees:


shrubs and firtrees:

Hi Jos. Yes...I'm still here, just not real active right now. I hope all's well. How are you doing on your module piece?
scotchpine Posted - 05/15/2013 : 3:57:35 PM

I am glad to hear/read something from you!!

Thanks Håkan!

It is all about trail and error!!
May be also the very light background on my pictures( blue sky)let it look like the trees are very "airy"??

To me it also looks fantastic! Pure magic! You have such a subtlety when applying the foliage. When I'm making my trees it always feels like I have poured on to little so I pour on some more. All of a sudden it is to much instead

Jos, you might not like it but I think the rest of us do.
scotchpine Posted - 04/13/2013 : 2:19:50 PM
Thanks Frederic,

The leaves and the small twigs/branches are natural products!
here a link to a company in Belgium that sells/trades this kind of "foliage"...

The trunk with all its relief is splendid.
The foliage is also quite realistic. Did you use lasercut individual leaves?
scotchpine Posted - 04/13/2013 : 07:58:23 AM
Thanks Frederic! =)

A little bit larger in scale...

Great. Their trunks remind me very much that of all the "platanes" I've seen in southern France during my youth.

I think you are the first person to make BONSAI from fake materials. Your work is truly inspiring.

Nice work Jos. On the white pine, make sure the top is full. They have a real 'bushy' top like Frank's first photo.
