I have a custom playset to share today that is fun for the kids, cheap and easy to make. All you need is a old plastic flower pot and a can of expanding foam, I'm sure there is no explanation needed  as how two put these together to quickly make a rusty old bunker in the rocks. Hours of fun for the kiddies, its a simple enough project that they can even join in building it.

I'm assuming soup cans turned upside down, then based with expanding spray foam, as mentioned in the flower-pot post?  Are those nail holes?  I'm guessing that due to the squared nature of several of them.  My clan would take them outside and use a pellet rifle, but that's us.  I love this set-up here!  *If it were me,* I'd likely hit the plants with a spray-dusting of khaki or Boots Brown Krylon to blend them in some and then dust with Dullcote or whatever Krylon calls their similar product, to dull the colors a bit.  I don't think it would kill too much of the vibrancy of the colors, but it would give them a more "real" look...

The blaster hits you did into those barrels looks cool man.  I never even thought of that or of doing that.  I LOVE that idea man.   I'm going to be customising a smugglers ship soon and i'm going to use that technique on parts of the ship.
