Take a look at plastic aquarium plants.
look great, but are pretty expensive, but there are also good-looking cheap ones out there. I'm just too lazy to look...

I saw some around christmas time that were like $1.00 each. They were flocked however. Try like a hobby shop (in Canada, we have Michaels) for you know... crap that women like. |

I was at a hobby shop last week and saw some plastic/moss tree kits that looked really nice. They were around 16.00 for 20 trees. I don't recall the names but I'll go back and take a look this week. They're the only real tree option other than twisting some bailing-wire and adding foam or moss...which look really cool by the way. Just take 3 of 4 pieces of bailing wire about 6 inches long and twist em up. Leave an inch or so on the bottom for roots/stand and bend out the top third for the branches. 6 inches makes a kind of small tree but you get the picture... Theyre cheap too... |

Thanks for all the responses
I did dig around Terra Genesis and found lots of good ides, and for the most part inexpensive; load of links: - The look a bit prehistoric to me
- Would be suitable for giant ant hills

Pine trees are easy to find in dollar stores, at least around christmas. Dinas Ffordd also has some paper trees. But on occasion I've made some temporary ones for free. I simply used small clippings from an evergreen bush hot glued to a base. Granted they will eventually turn brown, but I've had some last at least weeks, maybe months. |

Thanks again for all the replies
I went through Michaels and found: Stem wire (it looks like a good palm trunk) A fake plant with a ton of little leaves that look palm like, more than I can use Sculpy for bases Bag of moss for around the base of the trees and shrubbery And some inexpensive paint for painting the bases (so I don't use up my GW paints) I already have a hot glue gun at home I'm going to try and make them this weekend will post the results. |
