This article from Model Railroader provides a step-by-step guide on how to scratchbuild spruce trees for model railroad layouts. The author, Cheryl Sassi, shares her techniques for constructing realistic foreground trees using materials such as floral wire, floral tape, paint, and ground foam. The article includes detailed instructions and photos to help readers recreate the process. While these methods are best suited for creating detailed foreground trees, the article also acknowledges that commercial trees may be a more practical option for larger sections of a model railroad.
