EXPERT MODELLERS SHOW YOU HOW
Peter Marriott creates a realistic tree, and then chops it down!
HOW TO
PHOTOGRAPHY: PETER MARRIOTT
On arecent visit to a National Trust property, I noticed that the tops of some of the older trees had been removed, perhaps because of safety concerns owing to disease or a lightning strike. I decided to reproduce a scene in which a tree surgeon was removing dead or dangerous branches at the top of a tree, with his colleagues clearing up the debris at the base.
Noch has various sets of ‘HO/OO’ figures with working sound effects, and this set has six nicely painted lumberjack figures, together with a supplied loudspeaker and a ready-wired sound module. Full instructions are provided in English with a wiring diagram, though to summarise it’s a simple matter of plugging two wires into the accessory output of a 16V AC/DC transformer and listening to those chainsaws!
