“Fire in the hole!” - time to kick some ass!

Parrots?  Oooh, you want a Norwegian  Blue, dead cheap.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

I think Bad Squiddo is doing chickens

I have plenty of chickens and pigs cheers.  As for dead parrots, did you know that they reckon there WERE parrots in Norway about 50million years ago......maybe one for my Lost World thread!

The real shame being cost,  it I have found lots of monkeys and gibbons in drop earring form!  I will pass paying for gold monkeys however.

I will pass paying for gold monkeys however

And I doubt brass monkeys would be suitable for Vietnam either 

Those crows (rooks?) look great - I don’t recall ever seeing that done with wargames scenery before - splendid work.

Cheers...similar principals....very arty farty indeed though.

See Digits, she did all of them in just over 3 minutes.
No problem then you knocking them out for all of us on LAF.

[Digits]

Oh well if it’s that simple then just tell me how many you want! 

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Okay, that was impressive.

[Digits]

Marathon sprint....three more trees.  That’s it for now, I may wait a month or so before doing any more of them.   I’ve hit the half dozen I was aiming for.....for now.

I can’t do the village and other rice fields until the civilians are released, so I will concentrate on painting troops for a while.

I will be putting up a to date jungle shot in a short while in my Daftest Africa thread.

Really excellent.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

They look great.

Hey, Digits.  Finally found a few moments to grab a lianas vine strong enough and swung over from the Pulp thread to this one here.  Now I see you do, indeed, have painted monkeys - and they don't look pained at all.     

Very nice work in so many directions. 

Egrets must be ubiquitous, they are all over the place here in California, also great blue herons, both noisy and nasty sounding when 'talking'.  We have what is called The Great Pacific Flyway and at certain times of year an hours drive north - through vast reaches of rice fields, by the way, and lots of almond and other orchards, nuts or not - one can see tens and even hundreds of thousands of birds.  They do seem to be self-segregating, one field with one type of bird, next field another type.  I have a stowage of birds for eventual use for my 15 mm stuff, some from HO model railroad ranges.  You might have better luck looking for O scale birds for your use.  Yeah, a bit pricey - but not gold pricey. 

Also, while smaller you might find a use for them, check out Splintered Light Miniatures animals page - birds and bats swarms meant for 15 mm but you might be able to use.  Also, they have komodo dragons which might be a fun addition, more for pulp than Vietnam.  And don't ignore Irregular miniatures animal ranges in case you find something of use.  And Peter Pig has a pack of eagles in one of its ranges you might be able to adapt, they are bigger birds.

I don't know if you have the TOOB range of toys over there but see if you can track them down, they have a pack of exotic birds (way too big for my use) that might give you some useful items.  You'll want to see them in person, though, in case they are too big for your use.  I usually see them in craft stores in this part of the planet.

Again, lots of thievery inspiration here.  Well done.

Those trees are spectacular

[Cacique Caribe]

I agree.  I’m stunned.
