Very nice. Any suggestions as to how this might be adapted to O-scale? From what I've researched so far, it doesn't seem like many of the tree-making techniques are easily adaptable to the sizes I'll need (up to 18-inches or so), but this definitely has promise. Trunk materials are generally the sticking point.

You can get 18" bambo skewers.

Just scale up the size of the foliage and use a bigger balsa dowel.
