Take a piece of paper as twice as wide as you want your leaves long. Fold in
half, and glue. Cut a zig-zag pattern that you want to be the shape of the
leaf. Cut from the edge where the two edges come together. The webpage is
http://www.users.dircon.co.uk/~gjames/terrain/intro.html he describes it
better and has diagrams.
This web-page is one of the best Terrain Making pages I've ever seen. I
mean, this guy is good, and he has a bit of Epic scale stuff. The opening
picture will make Epic players drool. He gives lists of materials, but he
says his most expensive piece cost $10, so I reckon it won't take a bite out
of your budget. That $10 went to plasticard and different types of plastic
rod ( i beams (Looks like a capital i, bad font for an example) T beams and
round beams)
