[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by danpik</i> <br /><br />A while back I started to make some of the thousands of trees I will need for my layout. I started using the woodland scenic / Scenic express ground foam. After I went through 4 or 5 cans of this stuff I figured there had to be a better way (read cheaper). Remembering that I read somewhere a while back about making your own at home from foam padding and water based craft paint I decided to give it a try. The picture below shows the results. The two piles will each fill the container in the center. Total cost for the two piles is $2.00. The majority of the cost for this is the foam rubber. I am going to contact a local furniture upholstry shop and ask about scraps of foam from their jobs. I am sure they will probably just give it to me. I have posted a complete how to on my web site www.DansResinCasting.com . Just go to the "How to" link and there will be a link to the page this is on. <br />[/quote] <br />Excellent!! That's how I'm going to do it.[:p]
