Nice!...toss some green washes on them for depth, maybe a dull coat and they'll look amazing...
Also consider bonsai trees if you can keep them from dying...they make great scale trees...

Hey Eddie, thank's for the link, but I've found something in my tiring research to find a decent size tree that doesn't look like shit, and as cheaply as possible, and I think I've found the product....it's called 'Super sage' from a company called ' sceneryexpress' http://www.sceneryexpress.com/prodinfo.asp?number=EX0243

Hello fellow fighters...here's some more greenery pics....soon I will add the super sage trees.
this cheap green plastic stuff is great, I'll go get more soon. Eddie is right, a nice dark green wash with a lite green filter would look nice and the stalks painted....anyway stay tuned for more

This is the best source of sage trees I have found. You can get them in 15"-18" bundles.
Much bigger than the HO scale.
One thing I have discovered using the larger tree armatures is that you will need to "fill" the trees with filler before flocking them if you want a full foliage spread as the finished look. If you just dip-n-flock the tree will end up with a thin layer of leaves, which is fine for early spring buds or fall sets. For summer thickness I stuff all the inside spaces in the branches with sponge bits sprayed a dark green before I flock the tree. You will end up with a much thicker tree that resembles a maple or oak.
Just click the drop down box in the link to change the size and quantity of the tree desired.
Your set is amazing, I can't wait to see what you add.

I agree, the super sage alone is not enough, the link I put in was for the kit which includes : Super sage(12-16")...Supertree material(the filler in between the thick sage branches) and flocking and glue and containers. Its on sale for 35 bucks right now. The video shows how you attach the Supertree material to the Supersage material. Supertree stuff is very dense but still delicate looking. With the added flocking it look's damb good.
I am going to watch the video as soon as I get to where I can play it. It sounds like the video would have saved me a lot of trial and error learning (and probably show me lots of new lessons
). You and Medd should seriously do dio and photography 101 courses. I'd follow the hell out of them
