Trees ...

I've spent the past few days making more trees for the GC&SF.  I made one batch using the last of my Scenic Express SuperTrees, and a second batch using plastic tree armatures that I bought on ebay.

It is barely visible in this photo, but I am holding a SuperTrees "tree" in my left hand, and about to spray it with adhesive.






















In this photo I have dunked the tree into Woodlands Scenics Dark Green Coarse Turf.






















The next pics show the completed trees.  The trees on the left (with the thicker trunks) were made from the plastic armatures that I got from ebay, with WS Underbrush applied for foliage using WS Hob-e-Tac Shredded Clumped Foliage also works well, but Clumped Foliage straight out of the package is too big.






















Next job will be to plant the trees at Pauls Valley.

Thanks for looking,
Ron

  1. Great work Ron. Scenery and then trees make a huge difference to the look and feel of our RR's.

  2. A little late to the party Ron, but those look great! With your advice a while back, I picked up some of those trees. I'm looking forward to playing with them.
