Found said suitable items, and after wire stripping them and reworking into something of a suitable shape came up with these.
A good coating of car body filler was used for the covering.
May need another coat of body filler as you can still see the twists in the wiring underneath,
but then on the other hand when the greenery is added may not see it anyway.
Just depends on how pedantic I get I suppose….
Now just need to source the "greenery" (Thanks Gary for your suggestion) and, an appropriately coloured paint job.

Have just the right small wire brush to use to Gary, the toothbrush sized one I use for cleaning the terminals on the car battery.
Either that or a "hard" toothbrush, would be easier to clean to…..

I think I knows where it would end up if I did….Looks good Alan. If I might also offer you a tip… don't use your own toothbrush, use the wife's!

It gave me the basis for what I have done and and thank you for posting the thread as you did.
Biggest problem was what to use for the "greenery", but Gary put me on the straight and narrow and thats sorted now.
Had to order in what I was after and just awaiting its arrival.
