Hello All:
i've decided that in order to save some money, I'm going to make
my own
terrain. With hot knife in hand, I've turn the packaging from my
computer into ruins, and foam insulation into hills (I've got plenty of
greens hill, I need to make desert hills now). The one thing I can't do
is trees. I've tried to make them myself, but they always turn out
looking like garbage. Therefore, I've invested in some of K&M Trees for
battles set in more temperate climates. What I need are palm trees for
jungle and desert battles.
After asking my local mini-gaming guru if there were any game
companies
(besides GW) that make such trees. He could think of none off hand, but
he had a great suggestion: Use the plastic palm trees that bakers use
to decorate cakes! A quick skim through Jon Lovitiz's Yellow Pages
helped me find several stores that stock in bakery supplies and sure
enough, they have palm trees. The running price for a three-pack of 6
inch trees is only $1! A six-pack with three inch trees will run me 75
cents. I'll be going over to these stores to see if they are worth the
money. I'll let you know if they are.
