Tango 1 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Hello! I am currently working on a diorama for a country road with a Sherman tank driving over it. I have all the materials I need and I wanted to have a medium size birch tree in the background. I have searched high and low and cannot find a realistic tree kit. Does anyone know of any good manufacturers or suppliers out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 An obvious question perhaps, but have you looked in the Model Railway magazines for scenic suppliers, specifically for O gauge? One point to consider is that even a medium tree will be very large compared to your Sherman, so perhaps a larger tree from a smaller scale would suffice? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Make your own you lazy ! Personally, I think buying a 'ready made' tree is cheating. But then I would say that because I've been making one for a couple of weeks now. If I'd gone for a Silver Birch, I'd have had it finished a week ago. I'm looking forward to seeing your diorama.

rockpopandchips Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Not sure it helps you but about 10 posts down the page this guy makes making tree look very easy, Im definitely going to give it go. He has a decent YT channel as well, good Northern Lad to boot. https://en-gb.facebook.com/lukesAPS/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallisti Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 One thing to remember is trees are VERY large and if you build it to true scale will dominate a diorama, so its not unusual to have them smaller than they would be in real life.
