What should I use for desert plants?
Posted by Cosmic J on Friday, August 15, 2008 8:30 AM

I humbly seek the advice of the FSM sages. Oh wise and crafty sages, I desire to construct a vignette set in the desert. A desert not unlike that found in the American South-West, festooned w/ rocks, hardy plants and tough cactuses (cacti?).

In my vignette, the plants and other terrain element are to appear as if they are blowing in the wind, as if a strong zephyr has just rushed through, so therefore the plants in this humble offering will be a focal point of interest to viewers of my lowly diorama.

Pray, oh wise sages, canst thou aid me? What should an ignoble petitioner such as myself use to make desert plants worthy of thy notice?

Check through the offerings at Military Miniatures Warehouse. Also, Pegasus Models makes a couple sets of cactus

These are available from the Hobby Bunker.

In the box, they're pretty funky, but painted uyp, they look pretty good.

The grasses in the ppicture above are by Joefix Studios, also available from Military Miniatures Warehouse.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Peyote grows in the desert...have you been a little research?

My thanks, ajlafleche. That site was exactly what I was looking for, and then some. Thank you, thank you. Bow [bow]

Nope, I've led a clean and completely unaltered existence.

Maybe that's the problem...
