Museum Miniatures have some animals in 15mm, but at present the only dogs they have are mastiffs. Might be useful for guard dogs though ?

I'm sure I have seen a dog somewhere that might be suitable - perhaps a 10mm scale one.

some suitable animals can be found in Irregular miniatures, a couple of dogs included!

not really suitable for TinTin & Co!

Nice Managua you have!

Nice buildings. The dry brush to the roofs really adds to the "realism" of the dirtiness.

Some other pictures quickly taken. You could see my scratching electric poles. I've making one twentyth yesterday evening. They must be textured and painting.

Very nice.
Phone poles look good.
Still can't believe this is all 15 mm. Great detail

Less one week to paint the last miniatures (100 : armed civils, guerrilleros in soviet beret, guardia nationale and some truck and car) and my projet will be finish in less than one month.

Wonderful! This thread got me digging around for my copy of TinTin and the Picaros. Will General Alcazar be making an appearance?
Keep it up! I am inspired!  :D
