Tree

[woodelf]

Anyone know where I can buy a model of a tree?...preferably an English tree? Ta Muchly.

[mazie]

How big does the model have to be woodelf?

[scotman]

What size of model are you looking for?

[scotman]

Try shops that do things for railway modellers. Also look into people who do architectural models for new housing estates etc.

might have something although they are not very big.

Scotman I seem to recall Woodelf cant open links such as yours so I have converted it

Thank You All. I'm not really sure of the size, but life like as possible, so I guess not too small, just enough to feel how the trunk grows after the branches have erm branched off...at the moment, I cannot 'see' trees in my mind, hence this desperate question! It's okay Emeritus, I can access links now, but Thanks for your tinyurl, but I'll look at both even though they're the same, cos at the moment the AB site is a bit unstable...it keeps moving about!...if that makes any sense!

Tri, I had even thought about trying to find a local tree surgeon to see if I could go with him/her up a tree...smile...but I guess ye olde Health and Safety would not permit that...though your suggestion about getting hold of a goodish part of a tree is a good idea - the leaves aren't a concern, it's the tree and its wending and winding ways.

If you live near somewhere that has wooded areas, send someone out to do a bit of scouting for you. Have them look for a relatively young tree which is easily climbable by children - that way there will be some branches close to the ground which you should be able to feel your way around.

Many Thanks Huderon.

How's tha doin' woodelf? It is reet grand to see thee posting on yon site xx

[dotty.]

I have a huge tree at the bottom of my garden plus 2 conifers. Are there no trees in gardens locally?

[woodelf]

Nar then Mrs-O, 'ow thee doin' thissen? I hope thi clacker is gettin' a shift on and tha's able t'find time to put th'wood in th'ole and tha's not runnin' abaht after a'body else and thi can tek some time off so tha dunner knock thissen aht! I'll sithee. xxx

[woodelf]

Yes Dotty. there are trees here and though I've had them described to me, it would be easier if I could feel them and actually feel how they branch off and carry on at the same time...if that makes sense. There was or is a smallish oak tree that I was able to get to grips with recently and the trunk went about nearly six feet high and then forked into two; and on and on, so that was quite useful, but was only one kind of tree!...hecky thump, sometimes I dunner know why I bother, eh?
