Bamboo

[martin goddard]

Bamboo is the generic name given to cover in MOCB that is very difficult to move and fight through. Simon suggested some Chinese sourced model stuff. i am still waiting for it but Stewart has made a good bamboo stand.  Has anyone else made a bamboo scenic piece yet?

No, but my Belgians' lances are bamboo.

Martin, my 2nd bag arrived yesterday, your 1st not arrived yet?

[Sean Clark]

Any chance of a link to what you have bought? I was thinking of doing long grass on individual coins so they can be moved around as troops enter the scenery template.

Morning Chaps
Picked up a bag of Bamboo (plastic) from China via E Bay. Turned up in about 10 days, good product 100 + pieces in the bag but for 15mm you can easily cut them in half and double your quantity. If you want to make them more realistic you can add a bit if paint, if not use them as they are will not look bad.

Mine are still yet to arrive. Only been a month so far! At my age I might forget what they are for when they arrive.
I bought aMIG at the weekend as a scenery piece.

Order placed. Lets see how long the slow boat takes to get to Shropshire!

[Sean Clark]

Apparently my order has already been dispatched!

Still waiting......

My latest batch of bamboo has now arrived, from an Amazon seller based in China, bought at:

These are the nominal 1:75 scale ones, and do fit the online description (unlike the previous ones I'd bought, which did not have a wire trunk, and many of which had got rather bent in transit...).

I got (exactly) 100 pieces for £7.99 post-free and am very happy with them. I will drill holes for the wires into an MDF base, and probably use a hot glue gun for good measure.

You wait till you see my "brilliant" crashed MIG 17!!

[Sean Clark]

Your Mig is a sight to behold. I think you should write something into the rules that makes everybody need one

Here is a pic of my bamboo, again from China, through Amazon, 100 bits for £6.99, 1 pack enough for 6 bases like this

Very nice: we've been talking about it, but you've done it!
