Hi! I´ve now completed the video how I make my spruce trees. Working time: 20 min/ea. Video link below..
Here´s a photo of some trees made using this method. I hope this can be of use for my fellow-modellers.

Advanced options...

The method in the video is optimized for production speed and quick result.

If you want to put more focus on realism, then please consider the following options:

1) Use the tapered end of the flower stick for the top sprout. Just flatten it enough to enable drilling.

2) Add 2 or even 3 layers of 6mm static grass before spray painting them.

3) Add a final layer of 1.2 - 2.0mm static grass over all, including the trunk.

Interesting method

Thank you for sharing your technique. I’ve always wanted to try the static grass method for coniferous trees.
