I just bought some hills.  Will hit up a craft store for green felt, 
and buy a dozen little trees to indicate density (many=thick woods, one

Bought and have begun painting a GZG 'Tramp' class Lt. Space Freighter. 
 I figured a decent scenario would that this is a supply shipment 
slipped through the Imperial blockade--given identical designs and 
paint schemes, it's gotta be a civil war--and both sides are trying to 
take it intact.
