Shoot! This posting didn't immediately show up in the index, so I thought it was lost and re-posted under a sightly different title. Maybe the TMP gurus can do their magic and make one of these duplicates go away. I want to base some small trees and some bushes (all plastic) on washers. In the past I used clay, but it's only sold in large blocks and of course what was left after my project (the majority of the block) has dried up after years of no use. I'm thinking of using FIMO but it's a little pricey. Any ideas for an easily workable (not sticky) substance that hardens without firing, isn't featherweight (so no papier-mache mixes) and comes in quantities about the size of a human fist? Oh, and for sale in Pennsylvania. ;-) |

I use lightweight polyfilla for all my "ground". |

I buy colored sanded grout for TreeGirl to use. The small tubs are about the size of a fist and a half. It is available at both Home Depot and Lowes. (Granted for TreeGirl when she get working on a project we have to buy the bigger container.) |

The word 'shrubbery' has been mentioned and nobody has made a 'knights who say ni' joke yet? What is the world coming to…. |

I was waiting for someone to say "Brrring us a Shrrubbery!" |
