Modifying cheap fir trees - Graffen - 10-31-2019 Spruce/fir trees 2.0 Faller's fir trees are really not at all good looking, but they are cheap! With a few minutes of work their appearance can be much improved. I use Polak model turf and some spray adhesive for this project. They are very coarse as they are... I trim the armatures to avoid the cone shape. Less is more... I applied some spray glue and two layers of turf. This group of five trees took me 10 minutes to do, a time that can be reduced severely if made in a series. I have over 1000 trees to do, so any savings of time and money are very welcome.
