Glow trees

[zrunelord]

So I planted a a creeper plant called Madiera vine & discovered that it produces tubers.
In nature these fall off to create more plants. Its very small flowers become brown when dry & are
good for terrain ( but get everywhere the wind takes them even inside !! )

So I decided to pluck some off spray them with a fluorescent varnish usually used for Christmas decorations and did some terrain.

I think they do glow nicely and can add atmosphere to a game especially for an unusual setting.

Thanks for your comments.

That is cool. Are the tubers soft (like a carrot or potato) or is is closer to being a wood root type structure?

Are the tubers completely dehydrated?  If not, then how are you going to deal with the problem of the now-encapsulated moisture?

I like the creepy look that they have, a very nice idea. You could make a set for something like cave terrain as well with those.

Thank you.
Cook, they are like a cross between a carrot and a potato and I have let them shrivel on a hot tin roof in high summer for days on end.

There should not be any moisture left in them, if there is I honestly don't know what I can do about it, Dan.

Yes WM, they are kind of spooky but just imagine if you can build some out of for eg. exp foam & put them inside cave models etc. It would add atmosphere to any game. Or you could also make stalactites & stalagmites out of kebab sticks & exp foam  ( something like this and spray it with the flo spray....
