new holland 4 ever Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 hello everybody here is my tip for making trees out of of electric cables with lots of little wires inside (jump cables...) so of course you have to start by taking the rubber protection of. when you have don that inspire yourself on a real tree and make the branches out of the little wires. I also inspired myself on this website http://www.sylviasdd.com/ (sorry it's ritten in french) so here are the photos of the begining: then the next step is plastering the tree trunk and painting it the colour of your choice, then add the leaves: this would be to represent a young tree in my model farm. hope this will be of some use to you... greetings.

Kiwi6920 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Wow that tree looks the dogs, how long did it take roughly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new holland 4 ever Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 thanks it took about an hour and a half the longest was plastering (half an hour about) then the rest goes farly easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leakeyvale Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 That is a really lovely tree - I have made them from real twigs and always look at shrub prunings before throwing them away. I created a weeping birch as an experiment from a piece of floppy shrub dipped in watered PVA, sprinkled it with dyed sawdust to produce a young leaf effect and repeated the process to build good leaf cover. It looked extrremely good at the time but using natural plant material means it does disintegrate if handled too much and my birch is now looking a bit autumnal. I use watered PVA but would think on wire you would need it neat. Brilliant idea and I will try it. First to find the wire (aerial lead would work).
