"Armand P. Bayardi Resin Trees & Stumps?" Topic

I seem to remember these from a visit to a Railroad/hobby shop that was closing down years ago.

I wish I had bought a couple of armfuls of them when I had the chance.

What is the least expensive source for those Bayardi trees and stumps?

Okay. I found this from the "Michigan Toy Soldier Co.":

I think that the rest is very scale-specific (for BIG figures, 54mm or 1/35 scale or bigger, I think), but the trees and stumps are useful regardless of the scale of figures.

I remember the detail on those trees/stumps being, well, absolutely incredible.

There's gotta be a cheaper source somewhere though.

Its hard to match mother nature. So I use the real thing in the terrain I make. I spend a bit of time in the woods around my house looking for the right branch that has the look I want to see. then I take the time to incorporate into my terrain. I've gotten great comments.

Good luck

The best "deal" on Armand's stuff is to buy from his table at the MFCA show, held in early May in the Philadelphia area (US). He generally knocks bucks off if you buy in quantity, and usually has new items.

The quality of his work is unsurpassed, as far as I have seen. He was a jeweler in the past, and it shows in the detail he puts into his work. In addition, he is one of the best resin casters working anywhere today.

He adds to the line on a quasi-regular basis, and is always open to suggestions for new pieces.

I'm gushing, I know, but the stuff is very, very good. You can find cheaper, but you can't find better.

Headless, are you located in Western Mass.?

I'm in West Springfield, and there is a good group of painters and modelers in our area.

Hi Don, Yes I am in Western Mass. Feeding Hills to be exact.

My feelings exactly. None better.
