Grumpy Gnome Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) Tired of flocked trees shedding? Do not want to spend as much as Dwarven Forge trees cost? Try Toyvian trees like these ones I found on Amazon. I just finished the 2 medium sized ones, completing my set of 3 small, 2 medium and 1 large. https://thegrumpygnome.home.blog/2021/06/21/more-treestoy-trees-toyvian-trees/ They require a bit of work but I think they get the job done. More photos on my blog. And this older blog post talks about how I take them from factory fresh to battlefield ready with weighting the base, repositioning the limbs and painting them… https://thegrumpygnome.home.blog/2021/03/26/another-tough-week/ In the top photo are the two trees I just finished. The bottom photo shows the 6 Toyvian trees mixed in with Dwarven Forge and a Games Workshop Citadel Forest.

lowlylowlycook Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Those look both nice and rugged. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Gnome Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 They are made of a somewhat soft and pliable plastic, very durable. They take paint well and so far have kept it even when bent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblong Yellow Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Gotta give this a try, they seem to hold the paint very very well 🙂 Thank you for this! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Gnome Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 They hold paint much better than some “no name” inexpensive plastic plants I have tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Jim Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I believe I got 5 of the small trees in an Adventure Force Jumbo Bucket of Dinosaurs at Walmart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Gnome Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 It is quite possible. I suspect the design and manufacture is quite widespread given the source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Peacock Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Nice! I'll have to look into these. Woodland Scenics bendy trees with flocking are cute and all, but they tend to "shed" over time and with use. These look like they'd work nicely to get the idea across of LARGE "fantasy trees" without messing up the table so much with little bits of flaked-off flocking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
