for along time I tried to find a way to buy online some of these fish tank egyptian ruins, without success.
Anyone knows a web selling it?
I only found a ebay store on US but they don't ship abroad :-(

 I found this piece in the aquarium section at Walmart for $3.00.
 Gave it a green wash, flocked it, and based it with some jungle flora.
 Here it is displayed with some 28mm figures and more homemade jungle trees.

 

 

 Be gentle, this is my first ever forum posting. I've always only lurked.

Great looking Lost World wreckage there, zalzan, and welcome to LAF!

You should head over to the Introductions forum to properly de-lurk, be told where to hang your coat/tophat/spacesuit/spurs [delete as appropriate] and when the drinks trolley will be 'round.

I like the jungle foliage too - more plastic greenery?

Absolutely no doubt. Aquarium plants from a 'mat' - the same that EE sells for about twice the price....
Ask at the LAF, and answer shall thy be given!

Looks darn good, plus it has the density of vegetation that I want to see in a jungle setting, which also gives a big advantage to the guys with spear and close in weapons over the fellows with rifles.

I sort of specialize in jungle terrain. Started few years back with a Warzone game that needed dense jungle for a 4x5 layout. Have to knock down those firearm ranges so that the melee units have a chance.
Had a complaint at a con about it being to thick and losing site of your figures (called "fog of war").
 
Thanks for the favorable reviews.

Zalzan, Welcome to LAF.  I have a couple of those Wal-Mart Buddhas as well.  Aquarium stuff makes the best ready-made terrain.  I'm lazier than you and don't even touch them up.   ;)
This is my boomstick!
