Ghost Archipelago and Terrain?
« on: 11 June 2020, 06:31:35 PM »
Aside from GW’s sadly oop Deathworld stuff, does anyone know of jungle foliage terrain that wasn’t raided from a fish tank?

I know of Hadrian’s and THMiniatures for buildings but I am more thinking of bush.

Pegasus makes both palm trees and banana plants (link). I have both and they work very well; here are my version of the palm trees:

JTT Scenery Products makes plastic ferns in O scale:


Other than that a lot of your jungle trees are easily represented by generic deciduous bush. If you want tropical rain forest then your best bet is to make your own trees with long stringy vines

I’ve had a crack at the pegasus stuff myself, here’s a pic of my efforts:



This isn’t quite as bad as the aquarium stuff but IMO still leaves a lot to be desired.

Generally there isn't much out there for jungle plants, that is why people use the over-sized aquarium decorations.

Woodland Scenics makes palm trees. I also seen no name palm trees
on Amazon and Ebay. If you are really adventurous, you could try one
of the Chinese sites like Alibaba. I have seen them on there. All though
with the current situation who knows when or if you would receive them.

If you have access to a 3d printer, there are some nice palm trees on thingiverse and MyMiniFactory

I bought some palm trees at SELWG last year.

I need to look up who I bought them from.
Okay the barrels are not quite in keeping with Ghost Archipelago.

I picked up some Nuolux Coconut Palms from Amazon.  I mounted them on washers and they are good to go.  And people with more talent than me can make them look less plastic.
