Hi all,
I've been trying to think of a way for some time to scratch build cactus hedge for 15mm scale terrain. Any ideas gratefully accepted!

Something like this:

Pegasus Hobbies does a couple of 1/72 boxed sets of hard styrene cactus plants of various species, including the prickly pear cactus that the hedge in the photo is made of.

Here are the boxes:

This website shows them with 28mm minis: link

I think a box or two of those, maybe with some of them cut down in size, would make a great hedge in 15mm.

They look great – with the height of the hedges around Gaza in 1917, I may not even need to cut them down. Thanks for the link – that presents the best option if I can't scratch build! Cheers.
