How nice to enjoy listening to you talk, with no noisy background, or music playing. Not a noisy Yank about to be heard blathering on about things of no matter. I married a Brit for the very reason of sense of humour, articulation, and a small dose of common sense.

Your work is to be commended madame..... cheers.

Brilliant Jenny - I love the fact that they're much more open and airy than when you use the pure sea foam. I may have to give this a try!

High. Great video Jenny. I've made quite a few trees recently and I found the plastic bag method worked very well. So that is putting the tree cover in a plastic bag, spraying the prepared tree and holding it in the bag and shaking for a fuller tree structure. Cheers Tony F.

After watching this video, I made several of these trees for my slot car track and wound up adapting your method a bit. After cutting the branches off of the armature, I pressed a hot needle into the stumps and into a few other spots along the trunk. The holes made supergluing the sea foam pieces much easier.

I just dab some superglue onto the base of the sea foam, press it into the hole, position it, and spritz it with accelerator.

Great segment. I have been stalking the plants in the local nurseries for something that would work well. Nothing quite as good as the seafoam yet...thanks for streaming

Jenny has done an excellent job here of making a model tree that almost, but not quite, covers up the fact that her layout is actually covered with real trees that she fired a shrink Ray at.

Hello Jenny, excellent video tutorial on use of seafoam for trees.. very informative, thanks

I’ve watched several videos and your trees are by far the best.. thnx. I am planning on creating a mixed forest scene for my trains to trundle through.
