As reference for all modelers who wish to make dios of subjects in the tropics espcially in the southeast asian region, I am sharing herewith some photos of typical tropical trees and plants found in the said regions. This will probably be applicable for areas like Vietnam, Philippines, Guam, Cambodia and even Burma.
1.) The Banana Tree
Actually it is not a member of the palm clan and not even a tree. It is an overgron shrub. It is green all year round and grows about anywhere except near salt water. It could grow to about 10 to 15 feet.
2.) The Tropical Wild Grass
This is a very weather resistant type of grass and grows about anywhere even near the beaches. It could grow to a height of about 10 ft.
3.) Flowering Grass
Not so abundant in all areas but usually grows alongside the wild grasses.
The pictures are in Ron's Gallery. If you want to save a copy you may do so. I'll be back for more. Questions are welcome.
