I am going to create my 1st Pacific Theater diorama and need help on what to use for vegitation, trees, grasses etc. You know, what materials or plants to use. There must be some great ideas floating out there! Tim

I think you'll find CK Tang's features very useful:

Hi buildforme!
One of our other members "lestweforget" is also soon going to start making a pacific dio of some sorts.I sent off a product to him from Preiser which is ideal for making palm trees or palms that can be added to the jungle floor.PM him and he might be able to show some inbox pics of the palms if you ask him nicely!Check this site here out for the palms.Other than that i can only give you a bit of inspiration if you look
here at a nice pacific dio!
Best of luck with your plans,
Cheers,Shay

or even take a visit to the pet store and have a look around the tropical fish tank area, plenty of tropical looking plastic plants available
