Guys: The trees are commercial grade plastic ones you can buy around Christmas time. They range from 7" to 24" tall. We get them at Hobby Lobby, Michaels etc type craft shops. They can also be bought at

Thanks Jeff. We built 7 new buildings over the winter and in late fall all the streets and sidewalks were put in, plus the raised area for the big fancy church building. So when we publish pics from the first battle (probably in April), you will be greatly surprised at the new look. Once done, there will be 24 builings in the village area. We only have 3 more to make. But then I also want a few "false front" buildings" in the American camp area, plus 2 full size (small) builings and a stable/shed/fenced area for horses. Always something to do.......... LOL
