Making Large Fantasy Trees Scatter Terrain for Wargaming

Hey good folks! I really hope you like this tutorial video where I go through how I crafted some pretty amazing looking fantasy style trees. I had a blast making this and I hope that comes through! Stay safe and lots of love! 💙💛💙🤘

125 C = 257 F. Really nice trees --- love the moss!

What the song you use at the end?

This is awesome. Just a thought from my 30 years of experience is that plaster is cheaper to fill out the trees instead of clay. It is much lighter to, not super heavy like clay.

The pasta machine blew my mind. Look forward to trying this

Very excited to try this for some Cottonwood trees for an old west campaign! Thanks for the info!

Great work, thanks! I'm planning to have a crack myself. Roughly how much sculpey did you get through so I know how much to buy?

They look absolutely fantastic, except for the fact that moss tends to grow on the north side of trees in the northern hemisphere. They like the dark humid environment of northern facing surfaces. 🤘

Ho. Ly. Shit.

Watching Leif make terrain is similar in relaxation factor to painting minis for me.
Until the power metal kicks in.

Cool...

Always nice to meet another Leif!🎉

I want to make some massive trees for my Wookie Wargaming Board does this still work well for much bigger scale? :D

Excellent job. Very impressive. I think even i could build these.

Those turned out SO cool!

Wooooooooooooow! Wooooooooooow! Just WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! Majestic! :O

nicely done, you just earned a sub! good editing, nice mix of humor and instruction, looking forward to more!

A good tip for making bendable vines for hanging from tree branches: coat lengths of cotton, jute, or butchers twine with brown silicone and then roll in loose coco coir til covered. Let dry completely and wear gloves bc its very messy! I think they make perfect wild grape vines. I've made many backgrounds for reptile tanks using this and they hold up very well

Beautiful! Good tutorial!

Awesome work on the trees, nice to see scale trees for 28mm miniatures.

Those were some kick-ass seafoam and coconut fiber trees, Leif! You have definitely perfected the art of talking to yourself! But that is a big part of the charm of Deva & Dice!

What music do you use at the end of your vids?

pasta machine? xD great idea!

Totally amazing results!

Wow ! It's just amazing ! This tutorial is exactly what I was looking for, thank you very much 😄
Next step : adding some roots emerging from the ground (like small arches)... it would add another dimension to the gigantism of the trees 😄

Dear Leif, another great tutorial! Viewers may be interested to know that yacht vanish (sprayed over several layers make the foliage more robust. For further information please see Luke Fellows (Geek Gaming) but that is just a suggestion. Best Wishes Johnny

Awesome

jäklar vilken fin video :D

Great tutorial Leif. I liked the coconut foliage very different and a nice woodland mixture

Top notch trees! The foil layer is really smart, nice touch using that!!

For a substitute instead of the sea foam trees. I have been using rope twine basicly making trees from that but of much smaller scale (mostly aspen type trees) but it may work in a pinch if your running low on those.

Where is that wizard model from?

Awesome! Now these are the trees I've been looking for. Big and majestic. One thing, I saw another guy cut up a green scotch pad to use as a base for the leaves and he then covered it with the green turf. That would probably be sturdier and not as fragile as the seafoam trees. Might give it a try sometime. But great trees and great video!

Lovely. And very enjoyable video to watch. The end result looks a lot like an oak! I think some minor improvements could be to have one or two smaller dead parts of the tree (like a dead branch), since old oaks will often have those. And then it would also make sense to have an (or a couple of) old dead branch(es) that at some point came off be lying on the ground. Not that it has to be super realistic like that. But that is the image that comes to my mind when thinking about old oaks. In any case, very pretty trees.

What size wire? I bought what I thought you sad said and one wire is too thick almost to work with

Already a sucker for the epic ending credits in every video...

Absolutely amazing!

No way this is scatter, this is art!

Legolas would hug your trees! <3

Very nice Amazing... I love modeling landscape. Trees.. Sorry my Englisch I am from Switzerland... I have subscribe your Chanel.... Greetings from Switzerland. Alex 😊😊👍👍

Those are amazing looking! I definitely need to make some!

these are dope, will be tryin this out

I go outside and pick a real branch that looks good, apply some glue mixture for strength and slap it on a base.

PIZZAKARTONG!! Turf collector 2000! :D!

This is something I've been meaning to try and haven't yet, but watching the process as you go through it makes it seem really fun! Really awesome to see what they end up as.

Beautiful looking trees. I’d love to see a winter variety.

They look so good! :D

Lovely trees Leif! What's next? Yggdrasil?
