<\/a>One of the tree “panels” ready for spray painting.\u00a0<\/span>I took advantage of the beautiful fall weather today to prep some Super Trees that are needed for both the “Charlton Branch” (the former Northern SNE section) as well as some background forests between Stafford Mills and Berkshire.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So I dug out the Super Tree boxes, picked through to find the best armatures (always disappointed at how few useable trees you get from a box of these things!). I also plucked the useable (ie., not totally dried out) trees off the mountain section from northern SNE – I figured I might be able to use those. A fair number of those trees turned to dust when I tried to pluck them off the hills, but I figure about half of them were worth while.\u00a0<\/a>Hopefully some trees from the northern SNE may be useable.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I plucked those annoying leaves off a bunch of trees while watching football, and stuck the trees in Styrofoam panels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We went out for a nice early evening dinner with some of our neighbors. I returned before it got dark so I was able to get the trees spray painted (primer gray with Krylon Camo Dark Brown and another Krylon color called “Weathered Wood” – my new favorite base color) before it got dark.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/a>One of my tree panels after the trees were spray painted a base gray color.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now I have six Styrofoam “panels” of trees ready for matte medium and flocking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
