Recent Scenery Finds
« on: 12 January 2010, 03:22:50 AM »
These are some recent scenery finds I made.  They were all relatively cheap for what I got.  Thought I'd share. 

These Egyptian pillars are from Petco (Big Box pet store in the US their stuff is on-line as well) They were normally $20 but I got them for $10 each in the Aquarium stock.





These pillars and statues are also from Petco aquarium stock.  The big'uns were $5 and the little'uns were $1.





These were Wal-Mart Aquarium items.  $7 for the heads and ruins, and $3 for the bridge.

Absolutely great. Pet shops really are a place to look for these things. Unfortunately they tend to be rather expensive. But they sure look good.

They are a darn sight better than the offerings our petshops in the UK get. Only a wargamer could go to a petshop and look for something that can be used for the hobby. I love that.

Those are great. I keep scouring our local WalMart and have never seen any of those particular items. I especially like the large East Indian looking heads. I would love to get my hands on a few of those for a number of different genres that I game.

I've snagged a very lage Triceratops and "Human" skull from Walmart.  The Dinosaur skull I'm going to leave as it, the human skull is going to be converted into Skull Island stone carving.

Looked on the petco site and sadly it lists the egyptian stuff as no longer available...

Sadly she was a Ltd run figure made by a gaming club.  I bought her from them at a model show a few years ago.  I don't even know the name of the club.  Sorry :(
