Ahhh...

There's nothing like mixing up a gooey batch of water putty and slapping it down on your layout to make your own road.  The experience definitely liberates the 4th grader in me.  If you're of the same mind set my friends, read on....

Fir trees from Scratch

To make truly realistic trees is not that hard, nor does it cost very much at all. It's the time it takes to build them that is the investment here. Time is really the only check on the nay side from us. Follow along as Grove Den relays how he made his Scratch made trees.
