Looking for ideas to model (or buy) a tree line that is not a line of big trees lining a driveway to a mansion, but is more of an eclectic collection of mostly small diameter trees that have grown together. It is almost a very narrow, dense forest. I am new to terrain building, and open to any and all advice. The link below is a street view near Flieden, Germany. It seems that a lot of the creeks and road in this area have these types of tree lines. Google Maps Street View |

You'll need a mix of manufacturers and materials. Are you in the USA? |

You don't mention what scale. If very small then you can cut and tear out tree shapes from foam and then paint them – nice and robust if for gaming. |

Scroll down until you see buildings and greenery for some excellent ideas:

Is this what you are looking for? Needs to be printed. If you don't have a printer or know someone a quick google search should find lots of options near you. I have these and they look fine. link |

In 6mm you can buy clump foliage for the trees. I use inverted roof nails for trunks. Glue the nails to a base, and put the clump foliage on top. You could also adapt my "flexible" forests: link |

Puffballs out of fabric & craft shops are another option, but remember you need variety in size and color. |
