HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN TERRAIN:
Futuristic Vegetation


Using Aquarium Plants
Using Plastic Cacti

AQUARIUM PLANTS
Scale 25mm or larger
Difficulty Very Easy
Materials
  • aquarium plants

Don't forget the old standby -- aquarium plants.

Stick them on a base, tada you're done. Also, they come in goofy colors like bright pink and blue, for that alien landscape look.

PLASTIC CACTI
Scale 25mm or larger
Difficulty Easy
Materials
  • plastic cacti
  • wooden bases (optional)
  • ink (optional)

Lately, I bought some plastic cactus at a local craft store. They look like prickly cucumbers. I mounted them to wooden bases and gave them a wash of ink. They tower over the figures but have a nice alien feel.

They cost $2-2.50ea., but it only takes 4 or 5 to make a "desert forest."
