That is really good Alan. Looks just as I remember the Bocage countryside.
John.

You don't strike me as that old mate ...

Starting to grey up. Think maybe another coat or possibly two before i get it to the grey old colour i want.

Cheeky sod, Steve. I didn't mean I was there in '44. :smiling::smiling:.

John.

Did I imply that ... ? Slip o' the tongue surely! Was it the Summer of '45 then?

[JayCee]

Steve, sorry no. I wasn't born 'till 46. :smiling3:

In for a penny. In for a pound so they say.

Wasn't happy with the tree at the very end of the dio. To me it just looked far too fake and imho, far too rubbish compared to the rest of the dio. And to my eye it detracted from the whole thing.

Here is the original tree which was made from nylon fibre and foam scatter



And here is the 'new' tree.



No contest really lol. Far better :smiling3:

Agree and a great replacement!

[CarolsHusband]

New tree > old tree, says me.

[AlanG]

Cheers guys.

Just have to get myself some spray adhesive from Poundland then i'll get onto the foliage. Can't wait to see these trees when they are all foliaged up and creating some proper shade below.

Good move :thumb2: that is a worthwhile improvement.

Steve, sorry no. I wasn't born 'till 46. :smiling3:
John.
