Hello
With all the forest stories going I was influenced into accumulating all our tree parts and having fun. The boys wanted me to share their creations and I made a sort of game out of it. Here are theirs first .

Ok here is the one I made. I set 4 houses in each corner of the table, each player chooses a house, each player in turn adds a piece of a tree to make it larger, it can not be a terminating end, it has to have leaves on it . If the tree falls on your house your out ;D I tried and tried to get this size tree to stand but it just will not. I even tried to put fun-tack in the joints and it only helped for a short time. Eventually ( 5 seconds) the tree would just circum to its inability to stand

What a treet Rasputin, I half expected to see Jack climbing up the branches! Looks like your boys were building a cypress swamp. Great photos, thank you. :wave:

You could try hot glueing. I've started using a hot glue gun to fix parts I don't intend to separate often, such as plumes on hats or torches in brackets, but you can easily separate them when you need to with no marks.
Tim showed me how he used hot glue in his Christmas Castle, and the next day I got a mini glue gun and 100 sticks for about $10-15.

Great idea, Ras, and great results and photos. :wave:

Great foliage collection your family has :wow:! I've been using hot glue, & double sided adhesive tape for quite a while in my non permanent projects! They work great!
-
Larger size trees are a great challenge. The parts aren't quite tight enough to get really large
-
Trees, trees! *gets excited* :woohoo:
What great creations and the supertrees are amazing. I've never thought to try that but they are pretty cool. :o

Ras ... You are a wonderful father. You have such great fun with your kids.
Also, you must have a gorgeous wife to have such beautiful children ... ;)
All the best my friend,
Richard

Those are truly treemendous trees! :wow: You could try to grow them on a long piece of monofilament fishing line tied to the ceiling to get more height ;D
Well done!!
Best regards,

Amzing trees Rasputen!
You and your kids must have had LOTS of funplaying that game!
(Especially if the house broke too! ;)
Ofcourse I don't mean craked, just collapsed like the tree.)
Thanks for sharing!

HAHAHAHAHA!!! :lol: :lol: ...
(you're very attentive!)
However, what I like the most in your effort of solving a mistery was that you put the trees upsede down, and they look good that way: somewhat surrealistic, and not ... I have written stuff like that (upside down places), but it's still a little far from making it happen in playmo photostories ...
I've been working in one new photo, though ... I hope to tell more about it, in the playmo diaries, in the Community Events board.

Great trees and thanks for sharing these designs... actually part of the reason i went all green recently and bought 25 x 7725 sets was seeing quite a few playmo trees recently. I cant wait to set all these trees up. Shame realy the oak tree is no longer available though accessories catalogue , i think its an awesome playmo tree only matched by the 31cm tall pine tree which in large numbers look awesome. The colour of the pines is spot on i reckon !!!! 0)
