I haven't even read this thread beyond your question, so if I'm duplicating a reply I offer my apologies... Green Scotch Scrubbing pads make for great coniferous trees. Here's how: Buy a few bags of green scotch scouring pads. Cut circles from the rectangle pads in increasingly smaller sizes (three to four sizes should suffice). Take a bamboo scewer and dip it into some white glue. Thred the largest of the circles onto the scewer, followed by the next smallest, and the next smallest until you get the height you want. Stick the scewer into a scrap piece of foam and move onto the next tree until you have as many as you want. Let dry overnight. Then, spray the trees with an appropriate shade of green to add some colour variation. Then, before this coat of paint dries, sprinkle fine ground foam of your choice colour (lighter or darker) over the trees for added texture. This makes lots of pine trees relatively cheaply, and they look pretty good. Trevor[:)]
