steve fay Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 They are in Ireland, I ordered 6 at €6 a piece, they are lovely so I’ve ordered another 6, look at the sale section of their web page, I’ve also made a start on some of the BIG trees for Sonning, using real branches and forest in a box armatures. Once the glue is dry I’ll prune them and start adding some greenery 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gismorail Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Very impressed with your trees and such a simple idea certainly better than twisting and soldering strands wire to produce a tree trunk. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fay Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 The GM Model scene trees have doubled, with another 6 on order. Fantastic value at around £6 a piece, Not up to the same standard as MBR but definitely worth the money. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve fay Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 Base cover of scenics, it does look pants at the moment! Needs to be built up in layers. the top area that’s got a base of static grass will be the tree covered area. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fay Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 Second day, top area has had a covering of autumnal 4mm grass and 6mm straw coloured grass. The lower area had had the first pass of static grass. I’ve popped a few trees in place but will need many more. The ply fascia will be covered by Kirtley models weathered concrete papers. 11 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
