Those squirrels must be REALLY hungry to eat pine cones.  Around here they only eat the pine NUTS and leave the cones alone. 

Would you consider shipping a breeding pair of those hungry squirrels to California?   (insert smiley)   I've already got their fodder.

Here too. Have not seen stripped cones since I lived out in the woods about 4 or so years ago. I have 4 species of coniferous trees in my yard and not one is raided by the little buggers. lol

I'd ask for some too, but I feel you've already sent me enough free stuff.

Excellent terrain as always, Grimm. Very realistic and beautiful. May I inquire as to what the little brown bits of bush/foliage are made from? And what kind of tree did you raid for the branches to make those trees? Those are some nasty looking baboons :o 8).

Stunning.  The long grass, where did that come from (or did the squirrel weave it?)???

....or did the squirrel weave it?

 lol no sorry but maby I can train the little squirrel to do it  ;)

the long grass is a combination of the ``7375 Getreidefeld & Schilf``(grainfield &    reed ) from Busch (http://www.busch-model.com/katalog/d/artikel/7375-h0.htm) and some painted plastik grass form Easter decoration.

cheers Grimm
