I am looking for something CLOSE to joe scaled. Or if not where to possibly check out for strings of fake leaves. -Matt __________________ This is war, survival is your responsibility.

Here's my layout Half of a Wooden Bridge on the left, leading into the over crowded jungle with moss covered remnants of a statue. It's all coming together! __________________ This is war, survival is your responsibility.

Pet stores such as PetSmart or PetCo have cool things for aquariums that look like huge tree trunks. that's what I used for the following pics; http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/sho...r&imageuser=216 http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/sho...r&imageuser=216 If you can't afford Michaels or Hobby Lobby, try looking at your local Thrift stores, goodwill, Salvation army and such! They sometimes have tons of crap like that! Last edited by ender098 : 09-12-2010 at 12:11 AM.

Just look around and you will find many plants that work. Behold: http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/sho...&imageuser=2381 __________________ thinktankproduction.com
