Title: Weird trees made from pine cones
Post by: Snafu on November 29, 2014, 10:37:59 AM

I tried a nice easy method to make some bushes or little trees. I stumbled across this nice post for this method: http://boringmordheimforum.forumieren.com/t6941-jungle-tree. (http://boringmordheimforum.forumieren.com/t6941-jungle-tree.).

First, collect some pine cones.

Clip down the cones. I used parts of some kind of easter decoration for the twigs and branches.

Some dropws of glue, done. No painting required.

Thanks for sharing - I have been struggling to think of how I was going to do something similar with a bag of plastic leaves I have.

I do have an aversion to aquatic plants but the pine cone idea is great  :)

cheers

Would be great for the odd pulp dino expedition or caveman game  :)

It's a nice Idea, James if you spray the plastic plant parts with matt varnish the add a little contrasting colour as a shade.You'll get rid of that fish tank feeling that itches at the back of your head lol.
It's good idea that I'm going to pinch lol But I think I'll be killing Those dodgy palm tree's I Picked up at Partizan (curse you mobile bar and sunshine!)it should make some interesting fern's instead.

Don't forget the mould lines. They'd need scraping off as well  lol
