Looks like you could quickly make a large forest of these, on the cheap no less. Quite nice.

That is brilliant - so simple yet looks very effective.

Very nice. I've got some conifer bits somewhere for a similar project somewhere down the road.

I will need to look out for real trees like that. Those look really effective.
Keep up the good work.

Indeed. You can find them used to great effect also on Grimm's website. Though you may have to ask him to find the pictures for you as I remember only seeing them on his old site. Though I certainly recommend looking at his site anyhoo, he's made a lot of excellent terrain.

Sorry for slight derail, SirAlban. :)

Need to remember this one.

Plastic ferns, hmmm.... another thing to track down - pine branches should be available...

Thx for your coments. I think I have a little problem  lol
I was working in my fern forest when I saw a forgotten project: a rope bridge, and I think looks great together.


The contest rules says:"the base must be a standard format 120mm diameter CD. It may not be larger but you may break it up or nibble it at the edges if you like." and i need to use 2 cd bases. I think I´m out fron contest now lol

What admin says?  ;)

I say build it like you want it (and let us newbies have a chance at winning...). What's the prize anyway? Admiration from your peers? We all know a certain Scotsman with a certain Zeppelin is winning the internets this year, so screw the BSC and make a great looking piece of terrain!

(BTW give Gamer Mac the Nobel thingie. It's so good it pushed me to stop lurking and register.)

Yours truly,
