What's the fastest way to make trees?

Well, after our StillMeadow Crossing work session, we are still not sure . . .  but we finished some nice Woodland Scenics deciduous trees and we got a nice start on some conifers.  Steve, Jeff and I were assisted by Scott Mingus in tree-making.  Scott has a lot of landscape modeling experience from his many years of Civil War Wargaming.  Thanks again, Scott.

Making Conifers:

1.  Cut cedar shake into strips

2.  Carve into round trunk and add "bark" with a wood rasp

3.  Separate furnace filter material into thin layers and cut into circles, stars, and triangles

4.  White glue filter pieces to trunk

5.  Spray paint with Rustolem Flat Brown Camo

6.  Spray with thinned white glue and sprinkle ground foam
