Hey those cacti look like the ones from the deassert scenics sets they sell for school kids to use for dioramas. I have a bunch of those myself.

Can you tell us who the manufacturer of the cacti is, and perhaps give us a comparison shot with a 28mm model?

Thanks
Brian

That set is a bargain at $10.99!

As everyone knows, it's a cast-iron fact that every part of the Old West was covered in cacti, so they are must-haves.
  ;)  lol

That's a great desert terrain you have there. I can just see Zorro racing through it pursued by the Fat Sergeant's men :D
