Picked these up at Hobby Lobby yesterday. I haven't decided what I'm going to make with these but I'm sure they have some use. Maybe as part of some vineyards I've been thinking of make.Only $1.79 USD since they had Christmas crafts at 40% off.

They make great corn stalks. Cut into about 2inch lengths and paint the top a dull yellow:

Thanks! I use mine with individually based figures, and made sure the stalks were spaced so that a figure could fit between them. So, I can't help you with the stand issue. I mounted mine on 4"x4" sections of foam core, so for big things like vehicles, I just pull out one of the 4"x4" sections. I guess you could make smaller 2"x2" sections and pull those to accommodate stands,

How do you both deal with stands moving through the fields? I made some that were mounted on Games Workshop 40mm square bases. That way as troops moved through you could remove some of the stands.

If they have wire in the middle, they are good for 1/285 trees such as pine or similar "thin" trees. All you need is white glue, snips and a lighter.
