Look around yard sales and flea markets. Check out used xmas trees. Check the smallest branchs to see if they look OK - usually a brown thread woven into the green stuff looks great. At a lot of sales you can get the trees free - there is very little market for them. Ask Goodwill to save you a half dozen trees.) Take a good pair of diagonal cutters to the branchlets and trim them. Set them into the plaster on your layout / diorama / whatever, add flocking or ground cover to please your eye and there you are. A medium sized tree will furnish hundreds of 3 to 6 inch trees. If you can get several different types of trees, so much the better. I've made about 6,000 trees so far for a club layout and have probably another 10,000 on hand to put ground cover on and "plant." btw, this work goes quickly while watching TV. <br />JOHN.
