Thought I'd give this it's own thread, as they're not really miniatures.

All of the pieces below are aquarium decorations and are sold as you see them. The Copplestone figure is for scale reference.

This temple is just perfect and has some lovely detail:


Some Egyptian scenery, fully textured on all sides:


Asian building/watermill. Slightly small but not so much that it won't work:


This one's too big really, but I'll find a use for it:

Various prices going from 7-8€ to a bit over 20€ for the really big pieces.

Nice stuff, I particularly like the Egyptian pieces. :)

For those of you stocking an Egyptian Tomb or a Museum of Antiquities, I picked up a cheap set of Egypt-themed scenic pieces yesterday ($7.99 USD).

They're from a company called Safari Ltd. and they come in a tall square plastic tube labelled "Ancient Egypt Toob" (sic).

http://safariltd.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=SL&Product_Code=699304

Some of the other items in the "Toobs" series might also be useful (Horses, Jungle Cats, Dinosaurs, etc.) although I'm not sure about the scale...

The plastic is a bit soft and bendy. This is only really a problem on the Anubis figure. I would probably break/cut him off at the legs and use him as a crumbling statue (appropriately painted, of course).

Bought myself a plastic toy castle today. 'Falcon Castle' form a company named Simba...

It's snap-together and set me back about €16 (Dkr 130).

It'll be fairly large when assembled, and is about right for 28 mm (could possibly be used for 30-40 mm as well).

Can be assembled in quite a few different ways, I think...
