<p>My friend George stopped by today. He is neither a model rail hobbiest nor scenicking pro. However he produced a selection of wonderful "off the bush" trees he had made for me. These are straight out of the wilderness....merely trimmed, hair sprayed and spray painted. Nothing added or glued....not armatures, or flocking. What a great job.</p> <p>I had mentioned how expensive trees can be......even my modest favourites, the Bachmann SceneScapes at $3-$4 per tree....not to mention premium brands at over $20 per tree. Also mentioned how deciduous are much harder to make appealing on a budget compared to coniferous.</p> <p>I don't know what the bush is, but George graciously volunteered to pick me as much as I want. They seem quite similar to another product I bought for over $25 per pack. But I'll take these any day.</p> <p>The camera flash has made them appear rather more shiney than in reality. One can see how easily they could be made in verious shades. But as I am always on the lookout when out walking for just such useful items, without ever finding anything so useful, I am very very pleased with this surprise set!</p> <p><img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/best2nddoiuble-1000_zps70648543.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p><img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/bestdouble-1000_zps4f0ad215.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p>Use the old Trainmaster for scale.</p> <p><img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/bestscenesmall-1000_zps4dc1b87c.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p><img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/bestshadow-1000_zps622e5c93.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p><img src="http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u172/dcrane_2007/bestsingle-1000_zps1706cf13.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p> </p>
