Making some trees for Sweethome Alabama

[SSWUPinSA]

Hi Jon,

Great thread and what awesome looking trees. I was wondering though what you use for the foliage and if you use hairspray as the adhesive?

I think we need to keep a lookout for any LPB [Little Plastic Bozos] armed with chainsaws and looking to score fresh timber for the local mill or for firewood.

Guard those trees carefully.

Correct, Callum

I use hairspray for the foliage adhesive and am currently using Hornby 'Skaledale' ground scatter in various shades of green. I have also started using Gaugemaster leaves, although they are somewhat heavier and, although they look better, can make the poly-fibre branches sag a bit.






I use old ice cream tubs to store the foliage once the packet has been opened - waste not, want not.

Jon.
