@pennsynut posted:Miggy: Regarding the wire and rope trees, yes I use a drill to twist the separated strands to secure them to the wire. Not my idea, I saw it on youtube and copied the process. I also posted a thread on my process on the forum a long time ago. It takes a few minutes to make each trunk, then I spray painted the trunk outside, let dry and used cheap heavy duty hair spray and poured various green foam over the tree in a tray to capture the excess. I found that the kind of rope makes a difference. Thick 1 inch diameter Sisal rope has the fibers that have worked best for me. I'll try to find my previous post. Regards.
Mikeg: Yes, when I can't sleep and can't find a good mystery movie on tcm, I sometimes visit the layout. I made another 20 conifers this afternoon! Probably need another 20.
Well its great to know that you have this hobby to fall back on when no mystery movies are on! LOL
