Well the first thing that struck me is that the two trunks pretty much mirror each other. This shouldn't be so. One of them should be shorter and they should complement each other. Perhaps a more experienced member of the forum can help you further.

i know that normally the two trunks should be diffrent sizes.i will proberly shorten the left trunk a little as the right hand trunk has more foliage.this only part 1 just to get a basic shape.ive only pruned then wired the branches down.
Cheers for the comment though.

I like the tree though buzzy, hopefully you'll get some more qualified advice. I'm pretty new myself and don't have any knowledge in evergreens.
