Woodland Scenics Diorama Kit Desert Plants

Poor product. No base. Rip off

This kit has a very nice variety of desert bushes/shrubs and cactus. I like how the shrubs/bushes look realistic especially when you add the yellow and red powder to them. The glue that came with the set was surprisingly strong and it dried nice and clear. I was worried it wouldn't be strong enough to keep the rocks in place and the cactus standing, but it was. The only downside is that the powder is really messy so you might want to put newspaper or something underneath when applying.

My 6-year-old had to do a diorama for a school project and this served that purpose. The cactus pieces are cheap and look cheap but ok for this project.

Doesn’t include sand, which I didn’t look carefully enough. Cacti are very simple looking, and hot glue gun or super glue is better to stick them onto the small bases they come with, otherwise the glue included takes too long to dry. I was pleased to find that the glue that came with it dried clear so you can’t see it through the scrub brush. Was pleased with the “flowers” and scrub brush look and even the grass turned out great. Diarama for my daughters 4th grade project complete!

My daughter received a B on her project considering it was about creating the display of a desert. The powder substance wasn’t as thick as I thought it was. It’s very thin. The project glue doesn’t hold well at all. Trying to get the cactus pieces to stick was very tedious. The material used for the grass was small and thin so you could only make so much grass. Basically everything comes small and there’s not enough to make a really good display. There was a lot of cactus pieces though. Also, the carriage on the box does NOT come with it. Overall . . I’ll give it a solid 2.5 out of 5 for effort.
