Thanks, MLW: I usually make trees in batches, ie, 20-30. I twist the wires with the rope fibers, and trim. Then I spray them all black. You don't really have to wait till the paint drys to spray with adhesive. After sprinkling with foam, I hang them all up on a makeshift washline with cloths pins, to dry. So, it takes approx. 1/2 hr. to do 20-30 trees. I have a bunch of Super Trees on my layout, but they are very fragile. The bottle brush trees are a lot tougher. And, yes, depending on the area modeled, a layout "eats" a lot of trees.
