I want to show you my big brown Alien nuts
« on: 30 August 2023, 02:51:33 PM »
Ran into a pot of these sold in the local Action as ....home decor something. 1.50 euros for a pot.

Sorted the broken stuff from the ones that were ok, superglued everything in place and together. Took like forever! Sanded the bases painted them and gave the nuts 2 coats of varnish....and that is it.


Will work for my 15mm as well as my 28mm collection.

I have no idea from which plant these are btw.

Great find and well done on turning them into alien plants  8)

Simple but effective!

I'm tempted now, but I still have to complete my obligatory 2nd edition round green cacti with red spikes...  ::)  lol
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

I bet they will provide great concealment, and prove to be a tough nut to crack when providing cover.  :D

So are your Alien nuts all natural or some kind of plastic job? Real effective, either way.

Relatedly, I'm not allowed to read the Little Nutbrown Hare books to my son anymore.
