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

Please do keep us informed, because the feedback I saw was okay, and if it's a reliable service that is damn cheap for a whole forest full of bamboo.

Just asked my mate and showed him the source and he confirms that this was the seller. He also said that the delivery time was around 1,5 weeks to Belgium so very fast in fact, I see more bamboo forests in the future ;)

That's the same stuff that I use (in different sizes etc) but I payed way more for it!

Looks like I'll be getting some more for my tables ;)

I got myself on the evil bay and found several sellers who have the same product. I ordered 1 which according to the description should contain a 100 pieces. I will let you and post some pictures as the stuff comes in. Will take a while as this one is in China.

Just a quick photo to show the eBay bamboo with a 28mm Force of Arms US figure (Vietnam).

Mine arrived about a week ago, nice product and they appear to gave a wire inside the stem?

Oh, I thought there was a step by step somewhere? Maybe I'm mistaken?

Not of these pieces but some tutorials on making other bamboo and vegetation can be found on my blog here:

But you can find the construction of similar bamboo pieces on this blog called 28mm Victorian Warfare:

Darrell.

think it comes down to:
step 1. Buy Bamboo from ebay
step 2. Base bamboo
step 3. use as scenery
 ;) ;D ;)
