Wow! - brilliant link and thank you!   This may happen quicker than I thought!
No problem.  :)



Just to give you an idea, this is (most of) a 5kg sack of small tubes.  The steel ruler is 2 foot long.  Max outside diameter is around 5 inches.  I also have some large tubes which are around 10 inches max diameter.  Obviously, being a natural product actual contents of each pack is likely to vary.  It will likely need a bit of cleaning up, but nothing more than a stiff brush should do.

Thanks for the pic and info.  Certainly cheaper than from a hobby store. 

As everyone is interested in the trees, here is a WIP shot.  Primed are ready for paint / foliage.

Well, you're going to need to put some small measure of that enthusiasm to work creating some lowland gorillas and at least one of those solitary forest dwelling okapi.  Otherwise your forest might seem a bit naked.  And who wants a naked forest?  At least you can go with pygmy elephants!   lol

Yup, definitely Gorillas, and I like the idea of painting an okapi.....but I suspect a tasty morsel like that wouldn’t last long with a pack of raptors after it!

Trees are painted and first I’m applying the polyfibre.  Foliage and vines in the morning....for now, my fingers are superglued solid!  :?

Lovely trees.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has that problem with Superglue

You are really on a roll at the moment!
About your far flung trading station, I have a suggestion. You can call it Ghala Nazuri This is Swahili for "Goods Depot". In fact if you want anything translated for signposts etc I know loads of African blokes at work.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

Some nice animals/things, but most listed as 'Not available'
To add to the confusion different prices EU/Non EU & I'm
not sure at what point they will count the UK as 'Non'.

Shame, I like their baboons.  I will keep an eye out in case they restock.

Well....the main ingredient for my musicians has arrived Brian!  Just waiting on a few sprues for the conversion and away we go.....
