Cheap Terrain Building Ideas

Finally managed to update my site with a number of articles about building really cheap scenery (links to specific pages in the pictures).
Details of the main Battlefield project:


Articles on Mesh Fences, Bushes, Trees and a very cheap Flying Saucer








Hope they are useful to someone, any comments let me know  :D

Germy;
Thanks for the wire fence idea...I have been trying to find something to make the same type of fence...great little tutorial. I'll have to go get some and do this myself. Great website full of very effective ideas. Thanks for sharing.

This is great, I really like the saucer and the removable crash debris - superb idea.  8)
