Deal extreme also sells an 18mm x 2mm magnet which would be interesting to experiment with. In Australia you can get all the above items from your local hardware store, except for the magnets, the magnets I used are these magnets available from deal extreme. If you can’t find the exact tie wire listed above slightly thinner would be better than slightly thicker, make sure it is tie wire and not high tensile fencing wire. 5 min epoxy if your using the magnets and don’t have hot glue.Disc magnets 15mm x 1mm/ 5/8 x 1/32 inch(optional).9 mm diameter (19 gauge) galvanized tie wire

You can see some further photos of the textured trunk at the end of this blog post. I apologies for the below pictures but it was very difficult to take some decent photos to show the build process.

I wanted to try scratch building some tree armatures for wargaming.
