I was wondering if these trees come ready to use or do you have to construct and paint them?

I was just curious.

Thanks, HARV

I'm no expert (I'm working on my first dio right now), but it looks to me like you do have to paint and assemble them. Usually if they don't tell you that something is preassembled, that means that it is unassembled.

I hope that helps!

yep! you gotta build em. paint the trunks as well. take a look at the new line of trees fromwoodland scenics called fine leaf foliage, the trunks are thinner than the vp one but all you have to do is open the box and plant them in your dio. can be had at any good model r.r. store .

Thanks guys,

I will have to check out Woodland Scenics. I wouldn't mind building my own trees but if I can take a shortcut I will.

Thanks again,

HARV
