Tree Time!

I have taken the possible tree for Chalkdon on by actually finishing it! I needed to find the tub that I had put the Woodland Scenics foliage mat into some years ago when I was last doing this project. You can see in this photo that the tree is formed from about 24 lengths of garden or florists wire that is twisted as one to make the trunk and then separated out into smaller and smaller bundles to make the main branches and then the smaller branches.

Adding the foliage involved cutting suitable pieces from the mat and drapping them over the ends of the branches.

I am no expert in either making or identifying trees so this could be anything apart from a conifer! However it does not look too bad.

In its possible final home it looks quite good although I am not sure about overhanging the track and whether that would happen in real life. However this is my little World so I should forget about that and just judge it on how it looks and if I like it!
