Trying to breathe a little life into these two Britains trees. One will be incorporated into a graveyard plate, but I’ve left this one loose.
They are in my opinion among the best trees ever produced. My grandfather built me a toy farm when I was five years old, which featured a lot of Britains animals, vehicles and trees……so these are effectively fifty years old! Annoying that no one can produce them today….they’d probably try to make them from laser cut mdf!
They are a little brittle at the twiggy ends due to age. The plastic is a bugger to stick….I had to soak these in superglue to get the branches to stick on, then leave for at least 24 hours to dry hard.
I can’t do much with the leaves as they are too flexible and rubbery, but luckily, age has weathered them a bit anyway.
A quick dry brush and a little work on the base and I think they look great.
Just wish I could get my hands on more of them!
