Okay, now here is my question - does anyone out there sell kits for large trees?

Something to that effect? I’ve tried several times to build my own version of those types of trees, and they almost always invariably come out looking terrible.

Perhaps if someone out there has directions, if no one sells a kit?

Thanks to your patience!

Wow, I’m honored.

I still have the tree you referenced built, and if you’d like I can create it in LDraw and post it, so you can look at it closer. I’ve also got a better camera now that I can take larger and clearer pictures with.

The key, I think, to doing trees like this is put more than 4 branches on the trunk, which means breaking out of the 90 degree constraints. They aren’t very sturdy that way, but they look more natural.

i would find an ldraw file usefull as well. i have a nice larger pine tree design made from 2 christmas kits that i made insturctions for but not all trees are pine’s. a few oaks and other trees would be a welcome addition to my layout.





here’s the instructions:
