Thanks very much fellas for all the wonderful positive feedback. I was only doing it for my own enjoyemnt but it is great putting stuff on here and getting such great feedback and a sense that other people have enjoyed  it too.

For those of you who have posted to say you only live in Bristol or Herefordshire or indeed for anyone else who hasn't posted but fancied a game on this table.... I really am happy to get a game in sometime .... always nice to share your enthusism with other like minded fellas ... bit busy leading up to Christams with family stuff .... but drop me a PM and I am sure we can work something out in the new year.

I remember that you stated that the first bottle brush trees you purchased were from ebay/China, but how about the darker frosted trees?  I like those trees better; what brand are they?

Really very nicely done

Hmm - I wonder home many of us will be playing Frostgrave using our wive's Christmas Village setups?  Nowhere near as good as your table but a quick solution to scenery!

Thanks fellas for the great feedback.

@Black Burt ... I live near Dursley half way between Gloucetser and Bristol.

I remember that you stated that the first bottle brush trees you purchased were from ebay/China, but how about the darker frosted trees?  I like those trees better; what brand are they?
Honestly ... can't remember. I bought those years ago ... a big bag in a SALE bin in a model railway shop. I snowed them up myself ... bit of white paint and dunked in scatter powder.

Regarding the hills, what sort of Styrofoam do you use?  The "hard" porous type (I usually see these at craft stores and they tend to be green), or the white type that is often used in packaging?  If I want to glue plastic to the Styrofoam, what sort of glue is best?

The hard stuff is better if you can find it (more robust for regular use) but all of my stuff is just cheap white polystyrene used in packaging .... pulled from a skip! I have stucc it to 3mm mDF to make it more durable. I use whatever PVA (wood glue) I can find going cheap ...for about 90% of all scenery projects.
