Title: Rattlesnakes?
Post by: Argonor on 30 January 2008, 12:03:24 PM: I'm just browsing through the Mega Minis store (slow day at work), and am wondering, if there's any other sources for animal wildlife out there?

I'd like to find coyotes, and coiled up rattlers ready to bite, in 25/28 mm.

Any suggestions?

I have no idea for Coyotes, most manufacturers produce some form of wolf or dog so perhaps you could use those?

I think they do wolves and cougars that look acceptable, their snakes are usually too big, but the latest set "Desert of Desolation" has swarms of Scarab beetles etc.
You find them on eBay occasionally.

Oh, and I also found a very strange blister called Night Horrors, containing what seems to be a werewolf, a demon, a Deep One(?), and something resembling a chair with a dragon's head... something for my S&S upcoming project...
