UPDATE: I've done it! Ten Minute Mangrove tree build!

[Smokeyrone]

Scratchbuilding red mangroves is a nightmare.  Fusing vines and such, and if done well, it's still way over scale.

I got on the demon rum, started fiddling, and.....POW!

Now to fuse the top half of the tree, easy peazy!

I'm on to something here.   Will post instructions when I get it going. 

Mangroves....we can now make mangroves!

(That's where you find the snook, btw)

Stroke of genius!

That's clever! Demon drink is a good source of inspiration. Of course mangroves almost never appear in isolated form so I see a fair amount of work ahead.

Will be watching this one as I can see a need for mangroves in the future.

If they are still out there look for an aquarium plant (mango or something?) that works great as a mangrove - at least to my eyes.

Here is a link to a photo of some being tested out, not sure the tops are right but the bases work okay:



Even if you don't like the tops, you might be able to use the bottom portion and just rework the top.  If they are still out there somewhere, of course.

I used them in my 15 mm pirate game that went live in 2012 (a reprise next Saturday of sorts - but the battle is land forces).

nice idea

[carlos marighela]

Cheers! Bottoms look useful but not wild about the tops. Used to live slap bang next to the world's southernmost mangroves. One day I might get inspired to do some games set in the Rung Sat.

Thought about the Rung Sat too!

Looking great, I had these in mind for future use

But, uh.... what exactly did you DO? 

Looks like you're using a treetop as the base, but which one?

Woodland scenics tree top for roots, then a second tree for top.  I'll post a how to once I get my groove

This really is "brilliant!"

These are new 15mm versions, before foulage
