Need Big Pine trees

Model Railroader Layouts and layout building

I need some big (100foot) Norway or White pine trees for right down front on Matt’s Mountain. I have looked at WS and these are not even close. Dowel and Asparagas fern take a long time to make. Dowel and furnace filter is new to me. I need a couple dozen. WS will do for the back ground and up the mountain, but I need something pretty authentic for the front. All suggestions are appreciated, especially if you have really made some.

Aggrojones has a post somwhere on making the filter ones And in the may 2005 issue of MRR there is an article called towering timber. It shows 4 ways to make tall pine trees.
