This is showing the third type of tree I am involved in making/modifying

the toy train set plastic tree



from another one, cut off some branches & glued to another, coats of light & dark grey &  dark brown  paints gives this



the base will get buried in the ground - a hole cut in the cork!

Tomorrow, the start of greenery growing !

With hair spray, PVA, clear contact & a final overspray of matt varnish




to be imbedded in the ground




because of its location, it has been lopped many times.

Mmmm.  Pretty close.  Spray the trunk with Testor's Dull Cote and sprinkle some yellow Fine Turf on the foliage for new growth and you're done.   :thumbs

P.S.  I'm a bit worried about the top branch in the first photo.  What kind of fruit tree IS that?   :shock:

A salt shaker tree.
