More Bamboo Terrain Finished
« on: February 28, 2014, 06:49:05 PM »
I have recently finished these new bamboo pieces using plastic bamboo plants I received from a mate. I really like these pieces and they were quite fast to make, I think around 2 hours excluding drying times. My bamboo forest is steadily growing now starting to think about adding an ancient temple ... I'm also still accepting terrain commissions so if you're interested in some custom terrain, please contact me for a quote for your project!

But Belgian...i'd say.....finding bamboo in enough quantities and correct scale is pretty difficult. So where did you get yours. Is it aquarium deco stuff and what brand?

Hi, Thanks for the nice comments regarding the source I can't specify it as I received these bamboo plants from a mate and he doesn't remember the source. But I might ask it again when I meet him again.  ;)

It could be deco but usually that variety is in the wrong scale. Sometimes you see them in webshops but always they are out of stock. It seems the quantities are never enough or the whole world is hoarding plastic scale bamboo.  8)

Looking fab!  :-*

I certainly would be interested in the source of those plastic bamboos, too!

Sure - I do have a handful I bought from a French vendor, and I also have about 500 JTT corn/maize-stalks to plant, and no imminent plans of making terrain - I just like to list the possible sources.  ;)

No need to worry, I will share it in this thread when my mate remembers the source  ;)

I found this on eBay -

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100pcs-Green-Model-Bamboo-Trees-Park-Garden-Buildings-Scenery-Layout-Scale-1-75-/161239681371?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item258aa2495b#ht_2342wt_1053

That are the same bamboo pieces as the ones I have used but mine seem to come in three different sizes. Source located thanks Cubs!

I put 'Scale Scenery Bamboo' into the eBay search engine and it came up with various scales, so that's probably where you can get your size differences.

I ordered some from one of the Chinese eBay vendors a week or so ago so I'll see what happens!
