Bought the wrong sized armatures....looking for advice on how to use these

Like a kid in a candy store, I got excited and didn't pay attention to the description on the tree armatures and I got the wrong size.

Opened it and the store won't return/exchange it.

I accidentally bought the 2-3 in ones and I need the larger ones for 10mm.

So, any ideas on how to use these smaller armatures in a 10mm game?

Thanks

Welcome to the forum.

I like trees and bushes of all sizes in my games so I  would mix them in and not worry about it.
My 6mm trees line rivers and roads in larger scale games

Take a stroll in the park and look at the range of sizes, then do the maths. This exercise may bring you much peace of mind.

Welcome to the forum, acctingman. I had the problem in the other direction - had a bunch of 8 to 10" so cut off major branches to make trees for 10mm. As has been said nature likes variety - I'd just go with what you got (3" is a fairly substantial tree in 10mm IMHO).

Those trees will be fine, you will find over time that you will buy more anyway, so at that time you can adjust the overall balance of size if it bothers you, but I would have. Though 2 - 3" was pretty much bang on.

Real trees are big. Really big. Really, really big. They'll be fine.

I have lots of trees, but initially  I bought all the "correct size" ones for the scale I was playing in.  These looked nice but were much more like an orchard than a wood.

I had a look round shows and on games and the best ones had trees of different heights breaking up the whole.

2-3 inches is 50-75mm (approx.)  this equates in 10mm to a tree height of 30-45 feet. So no issues there I think
