Something for the woods ...
A nice find at the local Toy & Train fair yesterday - a Britains Oak Tree. It was missing a few bits, but managed to fill in with some spare pieces I had. Shown here assembled with some 28mm figures (perhaps more suitable for use with my 40mm)
That is a great looking tree. It looks pretty durable as well.
I have been trying to upgrade the size of trees on my table, but it seems that trees at 8" or taller takes them to a much higher price point altogether. I have been taking the "one by one, when I see a good deal" approach.
These are thin on the ground now but I found my old ones from the 1970s in my garage a few months back- about 20 or so assorted Britians trees plus hedges and walls. Durability they do have though the plastic can get a bit brittle ove time all of mine are at least 35 years old .

A lovely find which makes a stunning tabletop tree.

ReplyDeleteI always liked those old Britain's oak trees. Actually it looks quite good with the 28mm figures but you're right, it probably suits 28mm better.
ReplyDeleteVery nice mighty oak! It's actually in scale more than a lot of the usual gaming/tabletop trees. But it (or a few of them) would dominate most tables.
