Title: Cheap and cheerful trees
Post by: Poggle on 24 September 2012, 04:32:03 PM
Some cheap and cheerful trees I made from thistle teazels and foam packing material.  ;)

The chaps riding by the wood are SCW 118 Militia cavalry, in the guise of the "Rollesby Roughriders" from my AVBCW collection.

In case the photo doesn't come out, there's a bigger and better one on my blog.

Love the way you've done them, any chance of a tutorial (I love making trees, not fond of buying them as they are a bit expensive)  ;)

Yeah but your trees are a bit on the tichy side Leon, mine range from about 3" to 6" tall, which to be honest is just about in scale for 10mm.

Yeah, they are a bit on the smaller side, but I have got some 90mm's and some 118mm ones.  I've not bothered getting anything bigger yet, as they take up a ton of room and are a nightmare to package up nicely!

I get mine at the annual railway show in Dundee, if I remember correctly they were 25 trees for £12, smallest ones 3" biggest 6", cant argue with the price and I've found that theyre nigh on indestructable.
