richrua Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 grab a bit of cheap fake Christmas tree. trim bits to suit. dip in watery pva. dip in flock. repeat. allow to dry. pics to follow. Not perfect but a good background tree if you dont feel like spending the price of a pint on one tree.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenderg Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 for those that miss out on the christmas tree buzz, you can for about 20 eu, get a 6 foot length of 4 inch wide stuff, called a gutter brush. Same idea as the above, dip in pva, add flock. Because it's so fat it can be trimmed to more irish proportions like oaks and beeches without looking like an odd shaped pine tree. Props to richrua for bringing this up - woodies for the gutter brushes btw. Richie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
