I do have plans for a swamp base on the thing, might be awhile before i complete it. Gotta either find some fake trees, or i think of a way to craft them. Anyone got any ideals. Unclassified: here, not as cheap in price as popcicle sticks, but you can do a lot more an get really creative wit' this stuff man.. Building Supplies Wood footloose: youre right those wood supplies are not cheap. i cant afford that stuff right now, but thanx for the heads up. if anything id get some of those trees. i have a hobby shop not to far from my place ill have to go check it out to see if they have the trees there.
to everybody thank you for the kind words. it was greatly appriciated docfairday: how did you make the rocks? footloose: i bought them at the dollar store, and super glued them on. the whole thing was really easy to make just time consuming footloose: just started working on an out post for my joes tonight. the sniper tower is just about complete the whole thing should be done in about a week. woohoo MTN: Sweet idea. I may have to take it. I've been wanting to make a diorama/playset similar to this.
