New year started with creation of orange trees for Minalittas road module.<\/p>\n

There is (part) of an orchard on left side of the module with the rest continuing towards the viewer. Orchard is parallel to the road and with that it is at a slight angle to the module itself which gives it more natural look.<\/p>\n

Trees are made according to the Bob Smaus article in Model Railroader but there are some other similar methods to be found online. Regular yellow sponge is used and cut with the long sharp knife, first into cubes and then into cylinders. Final shape is made using scissors. It\u00a0is spherical with flat bottom which will be very close to the ground.\u00a0Wooden dovel is inserted and glued with white glue to the center of sphere (flat) bottom. After that, sphere shaped sponge is spray painted green using acrylic spray paint.<\/p>\n
