they may not be the best looking pine trees,but will do still need to add more snow,and a bit of shaping still,but they will do,

[aaron]

The trees are nice! Are they twine twisted in wire?

[monica]

Hi Aaron,yes it is,not a bad way of doing then,and quite fast,

alot deepens on the twine i find,as the stuff i used dose not come apart that easy ,but it did work

and I think after doing more you would real get the hang of them,

but all in all there ok i think,

as im covering them in snow i did not fill them like him with the flock,well did not have any ,so thats why,lol,

I added the link to how to for you guys, o_O

[aaron]

I have that vid in my "tips" utube playlist Monica, here's another of pretty much the same way just a little different.

[monica]

ta Aaron,i did see that oone as well,both very good way i think,

I just need to get all bits and bobs,like flocking stuff and so on,just ran out of it all,

I would like to know what twine ,it is maybe take a look in bunning for it,

[aaron]

I got mine from Bunnings in the gardening section, I've had the same bags of flock for years. The stuff is great value.

[monica]

I will have alook next time there for that twine,i think the best stuff to use would be bailing string,

do need some were cheap to get some more flock,mite try train world,if i can get there on a sunday,

[Guest]

That's a great link Moni! I might have a try at making some of them.

Although I didn't realise that Laurie was Australian!

[aaron]

I use this for twine, I think a plant hangs in it. It combs out fine.

well the carrier pigeons have not got to me let from the Ukraine,.....................

Watching the News, I fear that it will be a time before we get anything out of the Ukraine...

Trees look fine to me. A good dollop of snow and they will be great.

I know Ian,it was a shock to me as well to see him ,I would say Queensland or N.S.W,

some were,

its a nice quite simple way to do which i like,help me and will be of use to other

thats the very type of stuff you need,if you tried to use it for any think,you would just on &*@#* this stuff and din it,

but for trees,good,the stuff i used did not comb out that well,hemp i think that would be,

[Dave W]

Your trees look very realistic Monica.

[monica]

ta Dave,glad you do like them,

in away i was in two minds with them as maybe not that good looking,

[monica]

well just a small update on the base have the ground work done,

as its going to be a hot day will set fast and be able to do more tonight ,placeing the tree,s

and adding some of the snow,
