Found these today. Do they look like something that could be used in 1/35 for France? (I know very little about the native flora of France)

I like these plants, but I think they are more suitable to be in vertical growth, backed into a wall by example

The leaves are as big as the soldiers hands, i would say that that is not really usable.
Perhaps some big mapple leaves, but then they still don't have the form.
Without the leaves it may be usable as base for ivy, but then, a lot of other plants may be used.

Don't know. Some weed that I found by the driveway. I thought they might look good bunched together vertically, like a small tree/bush.

Maybe I'll use them as camoflauge cuttings for my Pak 40?

Hmm... I'm jealous. These plants would look amazing as lianas in a jungle setting.
Good luck for what you end up using them for.

I'd send you some, but probably couldn't get them through Customs.

Thanks for the offer, but Australian customs are known to be the toughest in the world!

Found a couple of up-rooted trees today, cut a bunch of roots. I'll get some pics as soon as my camera battery recharges.

never know where you'll find stuff; the cable company was digging in my alley today and kindly left a huge heap of birch roots for me!
