Making Trees
Posted by Fred Bear on Sunday, April 9, 2006 7:25 PM
OK, I finally found a way to contribute something on here. I don't know what kind of weeds there are, but growning close to home( I live out in the country) I found some things growing I thought would make good trees. I brought them home, slathered them with scenery cement, and dusted them like you would shake & bake chicken in a bag full of green ground cover, the fine stuff. Dang nice looking evergreens were the result, and it took literally seconds to make them, and at a cost of nearly next to nothing. If someone would be kind enough to tell me how to post pics, I'll gladly do so. Jake
Would still like to hear from an expert on what makes these engines "growl" and slow down slightly when they do. Thanks to those offering their opinions on this, I truly do appreciate the help.

Alright Fred! I love new and inexpensive ways to make scenery. I can't wait to see some pictures. If you need help in posting pictures click on the "Help" link at the top of the page.
