Tunnies Terrain Trees

Hello There! I have recently been asked about the Trees that I supply from my business. These include various sizes of items intended for a number of scales. However the question, 'How big shold a tree be?' means that they could be used equally well for a number of figure sizes.


Here are the largest trees in the range. As with all in the range they are made using Woodland Scenics products. Clump foliage is soaked in PVA and water then glued to armatures which have a larger base. When dry the clump foliage is airbrushed a lighter yellow/green shade to represent reflected sunlight.




For scale some Perry's mounted and dismounted Confederate cavalry are shown. I have used similar for wargaming purposes over a number of years now and am happy to say these items are much more 'wargamer proof' than many of the other items on the market. 

I have found by painful experience that the only part of clump foliage that will stay glued to a tree is the part that is physically touching the adhesive. Over a period of time that clump foliage just ends up in the bottom of the box that you are using to store said trees!

The materials from our Railway modelling brothers use the same materials but their hobby is set up in a loft space or a club and does not need to be transported from home to club and back again or repeatedly set up then put away again. this means that wargaming products need to be much more harder wearing.

The above are priced between £14 and £16 plus postage.

These are the next part of the range. Again, using Woodland Scenics products, these conifer trees can be used for 10mm sized figures upwards. Based on two pence pieces this provides a bit of weight to stop them toppling over.

They are priced Small - £2.75 each, Medium - £3.25 each and Large - £3.75

Here are the deciduous versions made in the same way. The prices are the same as for the conifers.

Please contact me through this blog if you are interested in making a purchase.
