I've put too much work into this to not share it.  Its way outside my normal modeling area but has presented interesting challenges. 

I present to you, a 1:12 scale young maple tree.  (HO figure for scale.  See the red arrow.)




The trunk is carved balsa textured with a stiff wire brush.  The branches are natural dried material from Michaels.  The leaves are paper cut with one of those crafting cutter machines and were provided by the client.  Each leaf is attached with canopy glue.

The figure is standing on a leaf.

Is 5 layouts too many?  Yes, it is.   

Focussing on the 1941 Boston-ish layout and pondering a mid-70s D&H switching layout.  There are still a lot of airplanes and spaceships in the closet and who knows what else might pop up.

Gluing individual leaves onto a tree?  ???   :o  Wow!  It looks great though.  Thanks for sharing the picture.
