Costas,

Are you really creating this groundwork or do you have some sort of miniature forest hidden from the rest of us there in Greece, absolutely incredible, excellent work.

who makes those palm trees. If you designed them yourself, how did you do it. Please I need an answer! This is a pic of my current pine tree and it sucks.

Oh please do. I want to know how you made those pine trees. They look very nice and I want to scratchbuild some.

The dio base is very nice. I like the groundwork and the trees. Very impressive work.

Can't wait for the final output.

I would be interested to find out what this stuff actually is (referring to the branches). Bragdon Enterprises states on their website that all their products are actually real miniature plants which have been preserved and dyed with a nontoxic process. If I could find this stuff growing some place I could preserve it myself.

Martin i dont know how easily is to find these mini plants . I bet from the time u get them u could preserve them with a mixture of water and glykerine in a ratio of 10:2 as Bradgon suggests that u should do in their instructions. Please if u do find them get 10 bags for me also !!! I really love these thingies .

Believe me Costas, if I ever find these things growing some place I will harvest every last bit and share it with you and anybody else who wants them.
