Hi all, Iam going to make so trees for 10mm so I was wondering could you please show me any 10mm trees you might have just so I can get some inspiration .
cheers lads.
These are Woodland scenics plastic armatures and clump foliage (the pine trees were bought already made, and the Palm trees are from Pendraken)

These look good - and are pretty robust, especially when given a wash of dilute PVA
This is them in a game

Cheers Fred, do you have any pics in scale to infantry please ?
Struggling to find a side on shot - this is the best I can find

To me the trees are a good size - small scale trees can sometimes look far too small - real trees are big!
Chalkie,
Here is one with

These are JTT Scenery - excellent but pricey - so couldn't do too many
Here is an Amazon link

And here is one showing one of the Woodland scenics that Fred has in his pic:

I generally look for n scale stuff in the 2" to 4" range
Cheers lads, all helps.
Mine might look a bit different I fear....

;)
I still have to make some pictures of my 'regular' woods/trees but I make bases with 5 to 6 trees on them usually; also all N-scale railroad stuff and mostly the cheaper ones...
Cheers,
Rob

Thought about making your own?
That's what Iam doing but wanted to see what you guys were using.
These are 6mm but the construction principal is exactly the same, just slightly larger. Everything on the table is home made by myself.

The deciduous trees are made using roofing nails glued point up into pre-sculpted lumps of dyed foam (from an old settee cushion) which are then covered in flock and diluted wood glue.
The evergreens are made from pieces of kitchen scourer glued to pre-painted BBQ sticks which are then glued into pre-drilled holes in the base. Building up the base first with small pieces of foamboard covered in strips of masking tape then painted with wood glue and sand gives the bond between the BBQ stick and the base extra hold.
The orchard trees are made using smaller roofing nails and clump foliage.
There are more clickable pics on my blog at: http://thewordsofsubedai.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/battle-of-garston.html
And very clickable they are, too !
Nice !
Cheers - Phil
For more of a forest look

Just have a base for a footprint should troops move through and temporarily remove the tree section.
OK good stuff, thanks for the replays and photos. Gonna have a crack at doing some. Watch this space.
Some good looking trees there :)
I have some of the "roofing nails glued point up into pre-sculpted lumps of dyed foam which are then covered in flock and diluted wood glue" trees that were made a 'couple of decades' or more ago by Phil Yates and they have only needed one minor touch up in all that time :)
I look forward to seeing what you come up with Chalkie
The tree/woods bases I've made so far. I'm gonna need a whole lot more but it's a start...

They're all n-scale railroad trees that I bought cheap on a Dutch online auction site. Still got at least twice as many lying around so I'll do some more over time. Also considering to make some 'strips' of trees that I can either use to boost the woods or use to line roads...
Cheers,
Rob
I'm liking those tree bases Rob. Its definitely worth a search or two for second hand railway trees - you can often find some good trees at a very good price.
It might be worth basing a few trees up singularly - hot glue on coins or washers works for the wire stemmed ones. Then you have some flexibility for road sides, or just occasional trees to decorate your table. We sometimes add a few single trees just for decoration - they have no in game effect - the only ones that count within the game are ones on area terrain that count as woods.
I second Fred's suggestion, single based trees are great for 'decorating' the table.
I also agree with your idea of having some strips, tree edged roads look good and the trees break up long sight lines with out taking up space :)
Rob, that's exactly what I had in mind to make ( if I can ). I love those.
Thanks mate.
My guide for Making Trees and Woods (http://www.10mm-wargaming.com/2015/01/making-trees-and-woods.html) hope it helps
Take care

I'll wait with the single trees till all the stuff that 'matters' on the table is done, then I'll do the extra's...
But really, there's still so much to be done on all the different projects that I don't see any extra's being done soon.
Making these was relatively easy Chalkie; just glue some ready made trees onto a base; make a landscape (I make mine with fine sand, some small rocks and diluted white glue) let it dry, paint and drybrush and then add some grass and flock, eh presto!
Cheers,
Rob
I wrote a couple of articles on on all types of terrain for MWBG No's. 388 and 389 if you can get hold of them. Again geared at 6mm but wouldn't take much to scale them up a bit.
