These could be posted on quite a few boards but I'm thinking VSF, off-world, lovely!

To my eye they look more like something Nemo and Dr Aronnax would stalk fish through, still very nice though.

These are awesome pieces. You can easily make them yourself very cheaply too if you have the time. He initially used seashells, which you can pick up at Dollarama for a good size bag's worth. What a fantastic idea!!

Thunderchicken...when are you folks moving to Sterling Moose and my way?? Hope all is well with you and your family.

Got to agree. Nice stuff, but obviously made of sea-shells. Good for undersea stuff; not so much for terrestrial environments in my (very humble) opinion. Could maybe be interesting if painted in shades of grey and used for a fossilized sea bed, though?

Could be vey useful for the intended purpose, but also for strange growths in caverns etc. I've a hankering to do a sci-fi exploration game where the team have to go into an alien underground cave complex to find and recover a lost item/person etc. It would give me the chance to use all sorts of stuff from different horror/fantasy/sci-fi games and an incentive to finally print my "Caveworks" set.

I see that they have lengths of barbed wire available. Has anyone seen or used any of this?
