Progress: Another 150 trees ready for 'planting' and some work in progress.
Posted by ukguy on Friday, April 1, 2005 5:02 PM
Well I just spent the afternoon happily making trees and here are the results. I hope I can get around to planting them this weekend, maybe I'll spend another all'nighter doing it tonight. (does anyone else forget to go to bed, look at the clock and its 6am???)

The other pics are of my modelbench with some almost completed structures(still trying to master weathering brick), oh yeah, some MORE trees and a lot of clutter..






Have fun & be safe.
Karl.

Cool. Love the trees, and I wish I was that far along in my progress. I've got the benchwork up in the Family Room, ready for assembly. My wife Penny (not Pennsy) was kind enough to stain and polyurethane it for me, so it looks a lot more like furniture and less like benchwork. Tomorrow, maybe I'll get some foam glued down, and then it's off to the Greenberg Show in Wilmington, Mass this weekend.

Hi UK guy!

The trees look great! What are you making them out of, and what scale are you working in? I could use at least 50 more trees on my layout, but got slowed down to moving from home to an apt!

And, yes, I have done a few railroad "all nighters" myself - think it is part of model railroading, LOL.

Wizard, thanks, I'm working in HO below is a link to my post describing how to make the trees, within the thread is a link to how to make pine trees. Glad I'm not the only one who gets too engrossed sometimes, my wife just shakes her head at me in the morning when she comes in the room.

Thats a lot of trees for one session. My trees usually are done in batches of a dozen or so.
