Thanks to Hobbycraft, I now have 20 new Sci Fi 'Spice Trees' and the makings of a large number of smaller flora for just £4.99.
No idea what the artificial plant was called - some kind of christmas decoration - Just snip off the arms with the berries, hotglue to a base and then texture (a job still to be done here!). May need a touch up here and there and maybe some matt varnish if you are bothered by the shine - but otherwise something very different on the tabletop to hackneyed aquarium plants.

christmas decorations are always surprising resources... I've got something too!
ReplyDeleteIf you're gaming them, make sure they have do explosive damage, and have a blast radius, like the gas-ball plants in Titan A.E.
ReplyDeleteVery cool scenery bits.
Best,

They look like holly berries to me. I saw something similar in matte black as Halloween decorations last weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou read my mind, JBR. I even found some screencaps of that scene:

I'm not sure how one would paint the glowing effect, but it's still a cool in-game concept.
Glowing effect? Paint the orbs orgamge and use a yellow ink to dot the glows on, then use a touch of white in the middle of the yellow.

By the way, at Easter I saw these in yellow, but didn't do it for me at the time.
