     I was looking at the TerraGenesis pages on terrain building (which by the way are great) when a question occured^[sic] to me. What the heck is plasticard exactly and where do you get it? I mean, is plasticard one of those British (no disrespect intended) terms which us Americans can't understand (ie. PVA glue = Elmer's white glue)or am I just missing something very basic?
