Thanks for the kind comments! The trees are pretty easy to do and i find it rather relaxing  :) . Maybe i should make a short step by step guide?

I agree with Atheling, they look nothing in the packet. I'd hazard a guess that over the years we both haven't given them a second glance in the model shops. Now I'm not so sure...
Having spent endless hours twisting wire for tree armatures ::), I'm seriously leaning towards getting some of these for variety.

Do it!  The spruce up well. (pardon the pun)
With goodwill to all and malice towards none...

I found the same thing. I have been working on a small forest the last couple of weekendseconds using the same materials.

I have also had a similar experience with Woodland Scenics Hob E Tac. Probably fine if you are making a huge batch of trees for a static display but to delicate for handling.

Agreed. I've had better luck with hot glue. But you need to be careful with the "spiderwebs".
