See link (http://www.hattons.co.uk/19535/Gaugemaster_Controls_GM195_Seafoam_trees/StockDetail.aspx)<br /><br />I have been quite happy with the service from Hattons although they did stuff this order up a bit, but, to their credit, fixed it promptly.<br /><br />cheers PhilPhil Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14268733501548280685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449616215483323212.post-2503360375386029052018-06-13T23:38:17.340+10:002018-06-13T23:38:17.340+10:00Where did you get the seafoam from Phil??Where did you get the seafoam from Phil??Ian Phemisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06548784626442896843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449616215483323212.post-49547234102457284952018-06-13T20:03:46.011+10:002018-06-13T20:03:46.011+10:00Col

I'll see what happens in the next 12 months. Hopefully they will be taller next year and I can review my assessment of their potential uses on the layout.<br /><br />cheers PhilPhil Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14268733501548280685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449616215483323212.post-38694386574035737312018-06-13T09:36:20.351+10:002018-06-13T09:36:20.351+10:00Phil, I use Seedum for many of my trees, the best ...Phil, I use Seedum for many of my trees, the best one to get is Autumn glory or Autumn Joy, I got a couple through diggers club, they grow fast and multiply themselves as well. In the 2nd year you will get tall ones that are great for mid point very tall gum trees. I also cut branches and using super glue attach them at various levels and sizes along the trunks, as they are hollow, I slice the cut branches at a long angle, and on the trunks there are a lot of dimples or small branch like starts, use those to glue the branches too.<br /><br />While the canopies are tight you can cut some out and then make them smaller providing neat bushes.<br /><br />My preference for leaves are to get to the Scenic Express email page for notifications of specials and get Super Leaf http://www.sceneryexpress.com/SuperLeaf/products/1289/ Its a bit more expensive than the old flock stuff but gee its a lot better and realistic, I did a blog page on the results a while back and is still there. When you apply spray the sedum with clear craft glue, I get it from Officeworks, sprinkle on over a plastic wash basin, let settle and then shake off excess, spray again to secure and if needed add more leaves. I have also experimented with getting some brown and other colours that I sprinkle very lightly to show new leaves.<br /><br />Postage from the U.S is a bit of a damper but if you get the bulk bags it works out ok.Colin Husseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10166476334786660482noreply@blogger.com
