Hey there!

Does anyone know of a good, cheap source for 35th scale bamboo...?

Thanks!

Aloha,

Hi Havoc,

Are you just looking into buying or making them from scratch? If you want to make them and derive a perverse machocist satisfaction from requistioning material neighbours lawn like I did, I described a method under the Flora and Fauna section in the topic 1:35 bamboo. Don't know how good it will appear to you but you can view them in my gallery under one of the ronin pics.
I put the pic here but being a technologically challenged idiot I still haven't figured how to do so.

Heya, Beach!

Good stuff...your bamboo looks great!

Truth be told, if I could save myself some work, I would buy it, but if I need to I will certainly make it.

I'll check out those postings!

Many thanks!

Aloha,

Johnny B.

Trychop sticks, run your cutter down the grain to split it, and use sand paper to sand it down for the "fuses" in the wood, its worh a go
