realistic decidual trees

[Anonymous]

Beyond Woodlandscenics ..any tips as how to build realistic N-scale deciduos trees? and if so.. where to find the materials to build them?

Thanks in advance,

A place called Scenic Express (www.scenicexpress.com) sells a tree-making material they call 'supertrees'. It has worked relatively well for me in N-scale. They recommend using mat-medium to fix the foliage, but I prefer using Elmer's spray adhesive. Just spray it uniformly onto the trunk material and sprinkle on ground foam. If you don't get the shape, body, and texture you want on the first try, just spray on more adhesive and add additional layers of ground foam.

Hope this helps,
