Having spent most of the weekend pruning 21 rather large connifers, my mind has turned to the modelling of numerous types of trees for my Rugby Parkway layout. I have several hand made trees which are ready for 'planting' and many types of trees from an assortment of manufacturers. What are your thoughts on modelling trees?

Working on my 1:1 scale trees most certainly was!!

Well, in the 20 minutes I`ve actually had spare so far this week, I have been doing some quick experiments. I have been looking at alternative methods for tree construction, as I still need dozens more for the layout. I may have come up with a very simple (If somewhat bizarre) solution.

A tease as always, watch this space......
