Can’t see the wood for the trees 🌲

I managed to link visiting my father who lives in Edinburgh with a visit to the Carronade Wargame Show. I have been a couple of time before there are some nice games, an increasing number of participation games...lots of traders and an excellent Bring and Buy.

This will be the first of a couple of posts. But I wanted to share my bargain purchase of the day.....like a child I was just toooooo excited. On my purchase list I had thought if I saw any trees a couple might be a nice idea and then I spotted this box on the Bring and Buy full of trees.

When I enquired to the price I simple had to get them...

These are the larger 28 mm trees a recently completed German Motorcycle for scale

Here are the smaller 15mm and 10 mm trees, they would also work as a large Kentish orchard ?

And some smaller 6-10 mm trees

On mass they create a very pleasing wood and of course I do have quite a lot of other trees if I can’t contain my excitement I might have to get them all out to see the effect on the table.

So forgive me my childlike indulgence.........and what kind of bargain was it ? When I initially looked in the box I was thinking I might offer the guy a couple of pounds each just for the larger trees. But before I said anything he said £10 for the box !!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn’t try and bargain him down 🙂
