Bob Miller's Florida Terrain Workshop

I was at a local model railroad show @ H & R Trains in Pinellas Park, FL in October, 2010, and watched a seminar on building Florida style terrain. (Palm trees, Cypress trees, and etc.)  I also picked up his Florida Terrain modeling book for a mere $5.  What a bargain. It is proving to be somewhat useful since I was building my own 'Florida Terrain' for my 28mm Skirmish level gaming in the Florida Territory, State of Florida, and La Florida. (AWI, ACW, All 3 Seminole Wars, Patriot's War, and possibly more/earlier.  I've even got some Cavemen and Dinosaurs that I'm dying to let loose in the Florida swamplands.)

Here are a couple of pics from the Bob Miller seminar.
