For a more substantial trunk, I stacked tan Adventurer-car wheels on a Technic
axle, with 2x2 round plates at the top and bottom. The plates could be put in
the middle as well, as Zack suggests; must try that. I have so many of these
wheels! Has anyone seen them in brown? I've seen them in dark grey but I
don't think that would look very nice for trunks.
Cheers, Heather

also liked the trees I saw in the walled medieval town recently posted
about. The smaller trees (brown half arches) with the small vines on
them. Gave the look of recently planted saplings.
