Now that you've surfaced, Don, would you give that sample game a look?

I use steel washers glues to the bottom. Not only provides weight to help
them maintain an upright posture on the game board, but I mount a sheet
magnet in a shoe box, and can fit about 50 trees in it, and they survive any
punishment I can dish out travelling via car.

Something that works good is to goto the do it yourself store and purchase 1x1'
pieces of vinyl flooring. Cut these into the shape of the woods you want.
Using the flat side of the surface, glue and flock. Smaller pieces can be used
as markers with brush, rocks, ect on them. For trees take wire and intertwine
them to the shape of a tree, then paint it brown. Then glue and flock,
realistic trees and interchangeable terrain that looks great.

The washers, or a quarter is great. The above is not my idea though. Pat
Mccabe made all of his terrain this way and it looks great. I just copied him
:)

Its on my docket, but I am swamped right now. I am trying to prepare 900+
powerpoint slides for a class I am teaching at work. I am pretty much
absorbed. I will really try to get to it.

Sorry for the delay.

C ould someone tell me what "modeled felt " is . I went to my wife's fabric
store (JoAnne Fabrics) they looked at me funny and asked what it was for? I
started to mention terrain and then they made a call to 911. Just
kidding....
But they had no idea..
What is it??

Brad,

I agree that the intertwined wire can create a great look - you can even
take hobby epoxy putty and smear it around the trunks so that they appear a
bit more solid, and leave the wire as is near the top at the "forks". Once
dried, prime, paint and flock and they are very attractive.

With that said, you can buy the plastic Woodland Scenics tree armatures
(i.e. trunks) very reasonably (114 Deciduous ?" - 2" and 12 5"-7" trunks for
around $9 each). I have found that by the time I go to the DIY store and
get everything, assemble it, and paint it, I have something very close to
the ready made stuff for the same price with a lot more time and effort
involved. The wire trees do make for heavier trees, but I feel that you can
apply weight at the bases (like you described) and the plastic trees are
actually more stable.

Either way is a great deal better than spray painted cotton and some of the
other horrible stuff I have seen used in the past.

My 2 cents.
