To cracking effect!

However, a bit strange the tent stands long enough for the foliage to grow up it.  ;)

A really lovely piece of terrain, it really has that deserted feeling about it.

That'd be due to the voracious growth of Venusian plant life (and before you mention the bones, they were obviously picked clean that same day by the Venusian Carrion Wasp)  ;)

Haarkon, Sir, please refrain from using the V word.  One refers to things from the second planet as Cytherian, as not to offend.  We are afterall Gentlemen, in this Victorian era.  It is the Cytherian Carrion Wasp that rapidly devours the flesh of the recently departed.

Another nice piece of terrain, mate.   :-*
 
I really have to get cracking doing some as well... My wife has offered up her dead (and much loved) bonsai tree.   ;D

That sounds a bit suspect?

You, sir, win this topic.

At no time did I ever fear that Alfrik would need defense, nor that we weren't all thinking something similar in explanation.  lol

I must admit, though, yours is quite well said, in spite of the small faux paux. VSF is all about the quick PSB!

You know, I've seen small fake Bonsai; dreadful rubbish, but now that I think of it, might work well on the table. After all, the point of Bonsai is 'realistic' trees in miniature.

They were ridiculously expensive originally, might be reasonable now. Anyone see any lately?

There is an alternate explanation possible for the "stains" on the tent.... ;)

MANY explanations, few of which are appropriate for family friendly networks.  lol

Worst one? "I put the glue on, but forgot the flock..."
