Peach trees!

Work has continued on peach trees today. A massive boost from a donation of used cerberus building pieces (thanks Boyden!) was received yesterday.
Magnetising the pieces on the sides was achieved by using hot glue and some odd pieces of plastic from h-hanger kits.
The hot glue alone isn't enough to keep the magnets from popping out but provides a surface area to super-glue then back in after they pop out (that's the theory anyway).
Once that was done I set about hot-gluing some pieces of card into the slots to support flooring. The card came with the cerberus kits and fits tightly in the slots.
On top of the card I stuck wider pieces of textured plasticard. It comes in white, but I'm reusing some painted tiles, I'll paint over everything later. In the picture above you can also see stairs I made ages ago. After a lot of playing with the building I decided I didn't like these stairs, but have some other stairs which are great. I just need to make more from foam board and plasticard.
