Hi,
I am in the planning stages to build a WWII pacific island diorama scene. Does any one know who sells 1/32 scale palm trees or even how to make your own?

Thanks,
Hobbit7

I think Verlinden and Andrea makes palm trees.

Here's a how to make your own.

Making Palmtrees

Hi, Hobbit7! Preiser have a set of four palm trees in 1/35 which are good, though they seem a bit short to my eye. You could always make 'em taller by combining trunks to have three (or two) taller trees.

Hi Hobbit7,

If you can spare the time I've written an article that uses easily available materials for both a regular palm and a coconut palm. Here a pic of my scratchbuilt coconut tree with a small palm in the background.


Here's the link to Part 2 of the article.

Thanks for asking this, these are great articles

I just found these, Palm Tree Models--Incredible

Note about half way down you can buy bulk Coconut Fronds.
