i was looking at trees and terrain in general the other day. Has anyone made a series of free standing mdf trees?

Pat Ripley Fezian02 Aug 2016 3:36 a.m. PST

In a world where twigs/branches from actual trees are better looking that that and free, I do fail to see the point, I must say.

But good luck with your search.

I'm not sure they would be my choice but they might look good on a table like the one used by Joseph Mauschauser way back when.

I'm not sure MDF is the material for a 'realistic' tree, but I wouldn't mind some flat trees to accompany my 30mm flat figures.

definitely not realistic but durable. everything is a representation of an idea anyway for instance who models washing lines/toilets/supply lines.
they could be painted similar to the way 4ground does their stuff with a whitewash effect and would be simple to pack up and set up.

I might make something for you Pat, shoot me a pm of what you had in mind. Keep in mind, he more complicated it is, the more laser time, the greater the expense.

No no no, better looking and cheaper alternative is to go have a walk in a park/forest and pick up some branches…
