Scenic Express SuperLeaf

Noticed that MBK now stocks some of the Scenic Express product line. I've successfully used their N-Scale SuperTree starter kit that included some light & dark green leaf flock made by Noch. The leaves were large and better suited for HO scale but I ended up just crushing it between my fingers as I applied it to the SuperTree armatures. Now they have their own product called "SuperLeaf" (which comes in larger quantities) and I'm wondering if it's sized the same as the Noch product.

Has anyone used this tree flocking material on their N-Scale trees yet? If yes then could you please post some close up photos of the "leaves" next to an N-Scale ruler.

Thank you in advance,

I followed suit with what Dave Foxx used for his Kudzu, the train is about 2" from the kudzu here.  The leaves are about 1/16" in diameter roughly.



Here is what I used



The stuff looks like shredded plastic.

I purchased some SuperTrees a couple months ago along with 3 colors of the SuperLeaf. I don't have any detail photos of the trees but here are a few from my Azalea module. [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Edd I used some of that Scenic express forest floor stuff on my now dismantled On30 layout. It is quite big, you might want to put it into a cheap blender and get the size down once you see it in person. It is nice though lots of irregular looking stuff.
