1:20 scale tree source?

FRO

I just picked up a side job building some models, and I need a good online source for 1:20 scale trees. Everything I can find is too big, I need 1/2" to 3/4" actual size evergreens and aspens.

Thanks.

go to the model train store, i used to get various scales of wood, figures and so on....so just look up your local model train store.

my 'local' model train store is at least 3 hours away if it even exists, but good call on the train scene, I'll check it out online.

Use Broccoli...dried Broccoli.
Also use a lifesaver and some yarn for a perfectly scaled tree swing. Uh Huh.
Seriously - Unless it needs to be photo-real, piloted dowels make a neat, abstraction of trees while not occluding the actual product you're presenting...?

My old office used a tree-builder by the name of (email me and I'll let you know) somewhere around San Francisco. Excellent representations, custom made to any scale, and incredibly inexpensive.

Do you have a Hobby Lobby, Michael's, or other craft store. I have found some nice scale trees in their dried flower sections.
