little weed!

I picked these up from Modellers Mecca on my last visit.

A tad expensive at £10 a pack but very nice indeed.

Made by Noch, they are supposed to be garden Veg, but I can only recognise the rhubarb and leeks!

 

I decided that I would just use them as random plants/weeds around the layout and this is an example of how they look when "planted".

I would like to add more of these but at that price it will be a long wait!

 

More soon

Hi Frank,

 

David C drew my attention to these products only the other week but this is the first time I have seen them planted and they don't look bad at all.

 

In Barry Normans "Landscape Modelling" book he tells how he creates cabbages and other veg from painted tissue for the leaves and 1mm balls of Milliput for the heads of the plants. Onions are made from Sisal string and the results look really good. Stephen Williams created a whole allotment for his layout using the same methods, mind you I don't know what his state of mind was like when he had finished it !

If you have time on your hands and want to save a few bob then perhaps it's worth trying to do your own ?

 

Cheers,

Geoff
