Oh, boy a fellow Scots/Irish/Welsh gamer who plunges into the thrift
stores
and bargain bins! Don't forget thick braided insulated electrical wires
-
six inches of this stuff will peel and unbraid to make GLORIOUS tree
trunks.
The craft shops where your wife likes to hang out is a good place -
check
their artifical flowers - plucked apart they can yield the most bizarre
looking sci-fi trees you could ever want.
Bags of 2" tall plastic army men usually contain soft plastic tanks and
vehicles which can be cannibalized to make perfectly serviceable HFV and
GFV
for 25 mm gaming. Lots of toys boxes have Hummers, and jeeps. Hot Wheels
and
airfix die cast vehicles can make a splendid base for building up new
and
wondrous creations for the game table. Observe, Improvise, Triumph!
