At some art stores like Micheal's they sell hole punchers with different shapes and one is a leaf shape that might work.

Models on the bench:

Too many to count!

The best think is to get out there and get stuff out of gardens and the herb aisle (fresh and dried)

Ditto... Mother Nature's hard to beat for a lot of things miniature...

You're asking for help with which everyone struggles. My suggestions is to also post on the scale auto forum and model railway forums. The best think is to get out there and get stuff out of gardens and the herb aisle (fresh and dried) and see what works best for your needs

I'm glad I didn't post this in the wrong area.

I had my doubts that this would work, but I'll give the methoods a shot. I never did stuff the easy way (figured, the easiest way I thought of for the project was the most difficult) I'll look at the links and try the ideas I've gotten so far.

Thank you.

Two good on-line source for all things vegetative is Scenic Express and Military Miniatures Warehouse. Hudson and Allen make a commercial vine kit with a stiff product similar in texture to coarse steel wool with leaves. Sapllings will be a bit more challenging, since you'll probably have to make them yourself.

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

I posted this about 48 hours ago, and no responce what so ever, with only 16 views.

Did I post something in the wrong area again?

No, but it ain't an easy question to answer...

I'm thinkin' for vines, you might try using wool thread or cross-stitching thread for the vines, dipped in glue and dragged thru a foliage mix... Look in a craft store for the thread.

1/25 scale vegitation?
Posted by Railfan 233 on Saturday, June 19, 2010 6:04 PM

 I am working on a diorama with a 1/25 scale car, and I would like to add some bushes and vines growing through the interior to further sigest abandonment and years of just being forgotten.

Can anyone tell me how to build 1/25 scale shrubs, vines, trees and saplings, and other types of vegitation for the car?  I would like to mainly use vegitation that grows in the deep South (Southern Georgia, North Florida) so I was thinking about Kudzu vines and cypress knots (to suggest a car left next to a creek)

Any help will be appretiated.
