A tale of a (hand-made, N scale) tree

They're very nice, mate. They look just like they're supposed to look. Wire is a great choice for the basic tree as it can be bent to look exactly like branches.

Well done!

Outstanding!

Actually, while I think the trees look OK, I'm rather more impressed by the weeds and grasses surrounding them. Are the fields to be filled in with tilled soil/crops/grasses etc? Also, I'm guessing this is England you're modeling (at least it seems like it), so will you also add hedges?

Thank you all, guys :)

Sir Ray, actually I'm modeling Romania (more specific, this village of Romania :

Yes, everything it's just at the beginning now, there will be crops, grass, small trees added... I'll not have hedges, this is not popular in the village I used as inspiration, I've added instead tonight some wooden fences (I'll take some photos and post tomorrow).

Kind regards, Viorel,

Beautiful little tree. It looks very much like an apple tree, I think. It's so hard to make really good-looking trees. I think I may try your method, but with telephone wire, of which I've got a bunch. (stupid rassafricken cheap telephone wire that isn't even twisted-pair grumble grumble)
