Fantastic article! I'll have to try this soon! But "naff" and "coir"...? Ah well.

 

[Spanky]

Im still not clear on this coir, could you describe it better for us Americans?

Cheers for the good reviews guys (and gals)! Coir is some kind of natural fibre. It kinda looks like fine strips of wood fibre or something like that, i think rubberised horsehair can be used as a subtitute but I have not been able to get hold of any. Try looking in a fabric/arts and crafts store. Foamcard is like the insulation foam you decribe, jay, but it is sandwiched between card. The stuff used in the article is about 8mm thick. I may add some more piccies for reference

Naff is an English slang word for 'not quite right' , ' a bit silly looking', and 'try hard looser' all in one.

The trees came out great by the way! I used an old dead 'welcome' mat instead of coir.

By fare the best article about trees I've seen.
Godd work. The only thing I got to complaine about is this coir, its nearly as expansive as the GW trees where I live. Do you know what I could use instead?

Good stuff! Wants more!

Anyway, isn't coir the hairy stuff from coconut shells?

 

[gremlare]

That's great, I really think home-made terrain is far superior on a table, it's more flexible in style.

Great tutorial. Very pratical guide with great results. Thank you.

 

[Mighty Bean]

Great, I just use hanging moss instead of coir.
