Hi,
I was in need for a few palm trees. Only a few commercial produced are available and those are announce1EXPENSIVE! I found only Heart of the South Models, Woodland Sceenics and Preiser making palms. Preisers palms are the cheapest of all three (in Germany), you get 4 for 10€ as kit. But if you need a lot of palms it will become expensive.
OK, I found a way to model what I need:
In the aquarium corner of a home improvement store I found a plastic (vinyl) aquarium/terrarium plant. The leaves are looking like palm leaves. The trunk is from a different plant I've got in crafts store, it's basicly a couple of wires covered with plastic and fibre grass.
