    If you go down to the woods today.

    Hi All,
    I have decided to place my Puma in the woods. This is my first attempt at a pine forest. I am reasonably happy with my first tree but there is room for improvement. I will add at least one more tree hopefully two if I have enough materials. All comments and suggestions are welcome especially the suggestions on how to improve or things I have missed.
    Here are a couple of WIP pictures.

        Peter,
        Thank you mate glad you like it. The tree is made from a wooden dowel that I have tapered and distressed. Small holes were drilled around the trunk. The asparagus ferns were glued in.

                        Absolutely stunning mae. Those pine trees are so realistic. A wondeful first attempt. I luv the last photo. So atmospheric. Reminds me of the Ardennes. Not sure how you can improve on that. Looking forward to seeing the Puma in place.
