    I was looking at one of the Gray Brothers piece.
    Anyone knows how they did?
    1-Their snow?
    2-Their red Christmas Ornaments? (little red beeds).
    3-The snow on the evergreens? (does not look the same as the snow on the ground)
    4-Their trees are made off?

    Auction #6014624632 on ebay
    http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6014624632&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.ca%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26satitle%3D6014624632%26fvi%3D1

    And this person (member7741765) from ebay bought for more than $15 000 worth of Gray brothers pieces since last September, ouch!!!

    Yes he bought other stuffs, almost all z-scale items on ebay. :eek:

    But comming back to my original questions, anyone knows more about the material the Gray Bros use for scratch building?

    Thanks

    I took a good look at the photo's and it looks like the pine trees are identical to some Life-Like pine trees I have seen, the deciduous trees look just like Woodland Scenics Fine-Leaf Foliage, the snow could be made by Busch, Noch, or Woodland Scenics. I can't tell what the ornaments look like, but maybe round cut glitter?

    That's a great find! Those glass beads look just like ornaments. I think the red ones could be used as candy apples on my snack bar.
