Hi all. Some of you may remember some aspens I made and posted a while back. While there were some positive opinions of them, many saw the flaws in them that I did. I scrapped them all!!! Well, I finally got around to doing aspen trees, revision 2. Ya’ll let me know what you think. My feeling is that they’re a big improvement over the originals but I’m always open to suggestions for improvement. Depending on what you guys think of them, I’ll post how they are made. Before I was asked not to post a how to but I’m under no restrictions with these. Honest opinions please.
Tell me, what machine did you invent again to shrink Aspen Trees to HO scale? How did you confront the density issiue?
Just teasing. Better than I could do. Plus more effort than I plan to spend on my trees. But then again Im just gonna use a bunch of bottle bru***rees with a doese of spray snow on them for my trees.
To all that have replied, thanks for the input! For the morning crew just signing on, I’m still open to suggestions. I’ll try to get a how to post up later today after I take a pic of the “raw” tree material. Interestingly, the tree in the pics was probably made in about 5-10 minutes. The leaf material pictured is WS Fall Foliage but I’m thinking that pillow stuffing dyed with Rit Golden Yellow and a sprinkled with this http://www.sceneryexpress.com/prodinfo.asp?number=NH07148 would be the ultimate for low cost aspens. Once again, I’ll get some more info up later.
