Woodland Scenics Foliage Clusters are the key. First step is to spend several evenings in front of the TV tearing the clusters into N scale treetops. Roughly-shaped spheroids (think a fuzzy green football) about 1" to 2" across are about right.
There are several means of attaching the clusters to the mountainside. I used to use hot glue but have found that clear caulk is easier to work with. It doesn't get hot or leave strings behind. Spread about a square foot's worth of caulk and attach the foam. The caulk is sufficiently tacky that the "trees" will stay on even an almost vertical surface. If not, hot glue is a backup method.
The first couple acres of forest have been planted near Horseshoe Curve. Many more are on the way.
Looks like a good color match with the backdrop. Did you touch it up or is that what I redid last time?
ReplyDeleteYou were right on with the most recent go. It does look great. Hoping to plan a few more acres over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteHave you considered Chia pet foliage?
