Anyone successfully use the plastic GW Jungle Trees for terrain? I have a bunch of these from various bitz lots, and would like to use them on some terrain pieces. Unfortunately, they look really, really brittle.
Is there any way to use these on terrain pieces without them snapping off the first time the piece is used? How about proper storage techniques?

Nope.

The trunks are useless. I drilled holes through the center of all the leaves and threaded them on some plastic coated wire.

Agreed about the trunks but the leaves are actually nice little models. I would recommend making some custom trunks out of coat hanger wire and airdry clay or paper maché if you want to relive your childhood.

I have a bunch of these trees still on the spur. I was thinking of using magnets on them once upon a time. Then I could rearrange them now and then. If they get knocked about the magnets should prevent them from being broken. I have yet to do it. To many other projects to complete.

They are a pain to use with out some additional support method. I got tired of fixing the ones I did put together long ago. I have used the leaves for other projects though.
