Hi Klickteryx!
Botanics is not my field of expertise at all, but in german we call this tree "Birke".
Pretty much the same as English then as people often just call it a birch.
Do you like trees? I made a custom tree with the big tree of 4827 - we added many twigs and branches, I'll attach a picture.
It's a great tree, I'll have to get a tree base like that as some point. Yes, I'm very much into trees.
What do you think of the hat? It's pretty controversial, right?
It is unique I believe so that's something. I really don't think there is a better hat currently available. Maybe they should have gone with a medieval civilian hat with feather instead with the hat being a unique colour and maybe the feather too.
My big annoyance about it is that it has no interesting printing or colours. I would like to have seen armour that looked old, a horse that looked old (flecks of colours maybe).
It also would have been nice to have had a chance to buy Jeanne D'Arc in order to have a spare but with less than two weeks to go that seems unlikely.
I suspect I'll open mine when it arrives but part of me says I shouldn't, only time will see which part gets their (my?) way.
