Stone circle looks good, they're always useful scenery.

The flying monkeys are from Eureka, if anyone else wants some.

Thanks Wirelizard, I had absolutely no idea where they originally
came from. I would have picked them up from a bargain box.

Today we have, courtesy of Flatpack, some very VERY small AFVs.
Bob gave me them as they didn't quite match the manufacturer
he had decided to use. How the Hell could you notice a difference
at that scale????????

Oh & another of those bits that at first glance I thought was a bit
of scrap metal. Every time I had looked at it, that had been my
first thought, only to realise it was a Peter Pig shark, from their
Pirate range (yes that had been yet another project). With my
current spare time & new Mantra, 'Paint it up!' I did just that.
It may very well make an appearance if anyone (Flatpack or
Vodkafan) try to invade Zumri (My AK47 country) by sea.

Or cross a fiver....if I recall isn’t the Bull shark also known as the Zambezi shark because it ranges up river and is at home in fresh water....

Funny enough....I too have a shark fin and a great white head rearing out of the water on my paint tray to do with my 28mm pirates....great minds and all that.   Don’t forget, your small Peter Pig fin could just be the tip for something much bigger...you could use at a larger scale.

Meanwhile back in the '45' (Jacobite rebellion project).
My Government artillery is ready.
First (nice weather) the outdoor shots.

And the indoor shots.

Vodkafan & I REALLY MUST do up some of our Flags of War Jacobites.

Very nice Pete.
Is the next shot where they are sprawled over a sports car in a sexy pose ?

How about on the bonnet of a Landy?

By the way what did you think of the micro AFVs, & how are (where are) your's.

I tried, honest I did, to post this on the 'Found at Poundland' thread, but
several hours, lots of lock outs & still no joy, so I am sticking it here.

Moderators, if you want to move it, then it is OK by me.

My first thought was 'Hesco Barriers' especially for those of us without 3D printers.
They will get painted & based, when I have worked out what 'shape' I want.
If I want a big defence I will clad them around a core of something else.
What is on show is 3 packs worth (total expense = £3) i.e. you get 8 in a pack.
Do not worry about the lights, they have gone to my wife for her to play with.
The figures are the SAS from those very nice Empress Miniatures people.
Painted up as my Pompey (Portsmouth FC) supporters club. Included for scale.

Gorgeous artillery. A work of art. Now all you need is to get them on the table.

They've been on the table, that is where the indoor shots were taken.
What I need are some, no loads of, hairy bothered Scots for them to fight.
That might get started...  next week?

A couple of scenery/objective etc. for Sci-Fi.
Found some Star wars' pen-tops & other bits.
Stuck them all onto some old CDs & painted.

I like them.   Even more because you could have landed on a planet where the cows are the size of a double decker bus!
