I´m looking for some seagulls for my Innsmouth project. Does anyone know where to find some fine specimens?

Remember, model railroaders are obsessive completists. Everything exists in one or more model railroad scales. Everything.

Here's some in S Scale: http://www.modeltechstudios.com/merchant.ihtml?pid=1371&step=4

Some in O Scale: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Scale-Unpainted-Model-Assorted-Seagulls/dp/B003DDVCMG

More out there, just google "O scale seagull" or "S scale seagull".

Place some scale chips ( french fries) on your table and within minutes you'll have more of the damn things than you'll ever need.  :)

A very good idea!

Depends where you are. If I do that at home only ants can be attacted.

I knew that someone would go for something like that!!!   ;) However, we use another bait in Sweden. It's called Grov portions-snus! It may sound like a Celtic fairytale title but it´s not.  :)

Sounds like wonderful detailing, General.

Cheers Hammers.  :)

The only place you are safe from the depredations of seagulls is Brazil. I have never seen a single one anywhere in the country, which is odd as I thought the damn things were damn near universal. I'm pretty certain I remember seeing them in Chile, I know they exist in Argentina and I've seen them in Europe, North America, Australia etc. Bizarre but I've never seen a single bloody squawking chip robber in Brazil. Another reason  Brazil is the finest of all places on earth.

My theory? My mother in law's family probably ate them all.

How about a flock?


Sorry, I couldn't help myself :(
But I'd be interested for the result, I've only found flamingoes.

Scouse hairdressers who understood the geographic relationship between Tehran and Liverpool. You don't see that every day!
