Ever try using the plastic bit of a blister pack covered

available.

Well, when I started this, I failed to mention that I meant
'LAZY, impoverished gamers'.
Toy-set trees and painted resin aquarium scenery fit both
requirements well. The sectioned cable trees can take a bit
of work to get looking right.
Give Scott credit, though; his other suggestions certainly
demonstrated the idea of looking at sets for usable parts.
AND, there's a fair movement demonstrated on rec.games.
miniatures.misc for using those green soldiers straight
from the pack.
I've recently seen fair knights and saracens coming in
packs for $1 for at least a dozen. You have to not mind
something close to the 1/35th scale.
On the other hand, Rick's seems plenty simple and straight
forward. I like it!
