The horses are FOUNDRY from old west mountain man / four legged friends. The mule is from the Brigade Games Sikh Mountain Gun.

I would like to point out that the two pack horses in the picture of my Sikh column (on rectangular "cavalry" bases) are from the German "DSA" (Das Schwarze Auge, an RPG) miniature range. Basically fantasy, but not outrageously so and thus usable for a lot of periods. I think I should re-base them, though, on circular bases...

There will be more photos. The Prof. himself took care of the pictures of the various expeditions. We pooled together terrain and models and this is the result.

As a participant of the game let me tell you that this was probably one of the best games I've ever participated in. A great scenario by Driscoles and an example that you can use T&T rules to play high adventures...

So let's just await some comments of the the master himself and the pics the Prof shot.

I love the terrain - the colours look very close to colour pics of African bush that I have collected. I'm never sure whether to use a green or sand base cloth colour, although now I think I'll keep using sand, but with more patches of green to try and copy your look.

Very good news with the T&T supplement. It's development appears to be in "safe hands", so I'm sure it will be a great success when released  :D

That's a superb game and one I would pay to play in - and I wouldn't say that too often  lol

180x420cm (6ftx14ft) thanks to the Prof and Grimm who built it. Pure eye candy.

Yes, I'd forgotten them!  :-*

A tutorial if they are home-made, or a URL if they are commercial products would be very much appreciated  :)

That's a shame. Never mind, I might find some in a pet shop here in the UK one day  :)

I wish I'd seen this post yesterday because I was in a pet shop and saw the venus fly trap look-alike. It was around AU$30.00. And looked great.

Mind you, the real thing is cheaper!
