I'm fairly new to model rail-roading so all of this is hit and miss for me right now. However, this was an EXCELLECT hit! When I first opened the package, I looked at the tree armatures and thought Really? These things are flat, and nobody mentioned having to have the recommended adhesive. However, after twisting one of the armatures up, it looked good enough to plant bare! Adhesive: Of course they recommend theirs, but I didn't purchase any so substituted contact cement. Spread plenty on the bottoms of the branches and then dip it in the foliage. Be particular with the cement and it's easy to create a tree with different shades of foliage. Just pick off whatever doesn't look like a tree and when you're done you'll have 36 great looking trees at an even greater price!
