I'm just getting started setting up my first garden railroad and I have I have two questions: 1. I'm planning on making my own trees from small branches trimmed from nearby trees with painted polyfil for leaves. Do I need to do something to the wood to keep it from rotting (the area is heavily wooded) ? If so, what would you recommend I use. 2. I'm planning to make most of my buildings using styrofoam for the main body with textured styrene panels for the roof and polymer clay for features such as shutters and doors. The area has lots of little critters (chipmunks, squirrels, ground hogs, mice, birds, deer, etc.) Should I use something to seal the foam (other than paint) to keep them from attacking the foam? Thanks
