Love the sepia pictures  :D

isaanmini: the end of the blog post links to Alfrik's blog. He's the one who built all the plants and his blog has lots of updates on how he made the different types- it's probably in there. I know those particular trees are made from a combo of plastic plants, disposable 'dixie' drinking cups and some paper machete.   The rocky crags are aquarium pieces I picked up at a pet store many years ago.

paper machete.   

Those are not recommended as weapons.  They only inflict papercuts.
This is my boomstick!

At least the skull rocks in Laughing Ferret's collection are from this pet product company

The skull mountains can be found on amazon & ebay for about $15-20 each.

I didn't see the regular non-skull mountians there.

In times of the future when fears are abating
Don’t try to forget them, the Daleks are waiting
Quietly planning and scheming and hating…

The "berries" in the trees are from Plastic Flower arrangement clusters I purchased from JoAnns Crafts, usually on sale. They have various colors of pinks, reds, purples etc. Though what colors are dependent on the season flower types being offered.

Cool stuff...and I followed the link to the report on The Laughing Ferret.

A friend of mine runs big game dino hunts, and I've been bugging him to add in some sort of points for photography.  I will direct him towards your ideas.  Nice!
Mike
