Anyone know of a source for model trees?

Post by Stanislav »

Pretty much what the title says, however I am not looking for the craptacular Wal-Mart miniature Xmas trees and such, looking for decently priced model railroad type trees, probably Pine in nature, I've looked at ebay, and kind of decided they are a definite possibility, but wondering if there were any more options.

A LONG time ago, there was an advertiser on Bartertown that sold some, but that guy isn't around anymore. Any suggestions?
Lower rating? I ask that you ship first. Also, if I offer a stupidly good deal and you try to negotiate even lower...don't call it bad communication that you didn't get a reply. I deleted the message.

http://www.canyoncreekscenics.com/ <-- wasn't what I was looking for, but their items look good, and pricey

http://www.miniaturetree.com/ <-- great stuff, wide range

Canyon scenics...nice, but too pricey. Looking at the other now.

Have you tried just going to a model hobby train store? Or maybe using floral deco from a craft store? I also hear using aquarium plastic flora/fauna works well too.

If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.

Well, I don't really have a model train store local to me outside of the typical hobby stores such as Michaels and/or Hobby Lobby. Well I take that back, there is one, but I was looking for something decently priced...so no, I really only have the 2.

As for the aquarium stuff...cheesy cheesy cheesy looking for the most part. I've used that stuff before for bases when I was doing GTs and stuff back in my GW days. So, no. Like I said I was looking more for an online retailer than anything else. Thanks for the suggestions.
