trees i am sure it has been asked a million times before...

Posted by kenny_conklin on Wednesday, August 16, 2006 8:39 PM

Well the wife has been bugging me to start a project she wants me to build. I keep putting it off due to the fact I have never made a dio with trees . I will be building a dio of the 101st Airborne (My old unit :) ) during the Battle of the Bulge. I am not sure what types of trees they are , if I can find them pre made or will i have to scratch build them . Any help is appreciated. Thanks again :)

Check out railroad layout section of your hobby shop. They have ready-made trees that you can buy.

If you want to make them, check out the Diorama Features section at Armorama.

Pine trees I think. Best resources is to watch Band of Brothers for tree detail. You can get those pre-made trees from train hobby shops. I am also going to be building 101 Airborne (screaming chicken Big Smile [:D]

) in Bastogne with 75mm howitzer. I got the archer transfer decals for the unit patch and looking forward to do this.
