Hi Steven---here's a shot with a caboose in the foreground---I think the size of the tree is realistic

That does look pretty good, probably the same size as some of the old oak trees by my parents' house

If it'll work with the site, I may order a little of each, one to my house, to my parents' and to my in-laws'

As a HEADS UP for all of us penny-pniching pensioners (and you cost-conscious younger guys too) there is a way to get the JTT trees without letting ALL the moths out of your wallet! Go to ... <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.jttmicroscale.com/viewcategory.asp?DirID=97">http://www.jttmicroscale.com/viewcategory.asp?DirID=97</a><!-- m --> and take a look around. I think at $14.95 for 4 or 6 kits for 6" and 8" armatures is not all that bad a price for a few "front line" trees. According to the copy describing the kits, the branches of the taller ones can cut off to form up to "50 smaller 1" to 4" trees, or bushes.

Just as a word of caution.....Those plastic armatures are not like the metal ones in the "professional " grade trees.......A friend of mine saw them at a show and was not very impressed. If anyone buys them, I would love to see the finished product. If they do look good, it would be a nice find
