One of the things I've always enjoyed is making little bits and pieces of terrain/scenery/props. I like to make rather than buy for the most part.
I don't have any of the stuff I made as a kid. Which is a shame, because I spent many hours putting tiles on roofs. I've been going for sci-fi scenery so far. I have some plants made from old Christmas decorations that I'm quite pleased with, but also I've been making things out of bits of packaging.
My favourites so far are the tomato-tray-buildings and the salad-lid-landing-pad.
