Thanks for the reply Steven and glad it's useful. It's amazing how many trees you need, even in a small layout, to give a realistic impression of the landscape and having the ability to make large quantities of effective-looking trees quickly and cheaply is essential. Even on my tiny layout there are currently 80 trees and still needs more. Most of them are made by this method, with one or two premium trees dotted in. There are quite a lot of good cheap armatures out there, they just need a little bit of work using polyfibre and flock to really make them shine. All the best with your layout and thanks for taking the time to drop me a reply.
