As my solo campaign is shifting to more southern areas, I have ordered some more wilderness terrain, a few hills/ ridges and a river section and some other stuff, pics will be up when I receive them.

BUT, can anyone give tips on where I can find some suitable bushes and especially cacti, they are a bit elusive

Legionnaire,
I made my own cacti from green pipe cleaner, appropriately based, washed and dry brushed. I bought pale brown lichen from AC Moore to use as tumbleweed and scrub.

Pegasus make cactus, several threads on LAF.

I agree - the Pegasus cacti are very good.

Yep, Pegasus make some good ones. I too prefer clumps of lichen (not all beige) for scrub.

I think I remember Ged of Gringo40s writing that he was intending to produce Cactii to go with his various Mexican ranges. Ask him if they are due out soon?

I'll echo the Pegasus cacti comment, great set. Also the Imex Alamo accessories has a number of cacti, a little on the small side (1/72 scale) but they do the job.

Thanks for the info gentlemen. Might have to order some Pegasus cacti then.

Here are some of the Pegasus cacti:

They have two different boxes;one 1/48th, one 1/72nd. Its worth getting both sets and mixing them up, so you can have the same plants in different stages of growth.

They are very nice, you get plenty in a box, but make sure you get both boxes

Just a small factual note for those unfamiliar with the area. If you're doing the Saguaro cactus, or the famous cactus from the cartoons:

It is only present in the Sonoran Desert, or...

Or, Mexico, Arizona and a small piece of California. The other cactii from Pegasus work in a larger range, but the Saguaro is only really found in the Sonoran Desert, so don't bother with it if you're doing Texas, New Mexico, or a northern desert (Deadwood etc.).
