Well done, sir. What did you use for the ants?

I wouldn't be surprised if they were Dollar Store plastics. I bought a bag of a hundred spiders last Halloween, each as small as a "pinkie" fingernail.

Really nice. I'm very impressed.

Great project Paul

This is the first I'd seen of this thread but it's a corker - definite Mad Max vibe.

Megaminiatures has some cheap ants that look like that...either that or he scored a find at the dollar store as someone else said.

Ants! They came from Poundland (Pound/Dollar/Yen store) in among the Halloween items. A pack containing 25 ants, 25 spiders and 2 larger (but very poor & rubbery) spiders. All soft plastic, but fine on a base. Bases are 1 pence coins covered with pva & sand, then painted. Ants added with a dab of CA on each leg. I then dotted their eyes in with red. The spiders will fit onto 2 pence coins, whenever I get around to them.

A few photos of the finished gateway and second emplacement:

I remade the sign as I realised I had missed a letter out of the original...

Not quite sure when I will continue building the rest of the compound......

Beautiful! You should build one for Andy to cast to add to his Flameblade range

Is that last section another Snapdragon piece? Damn I wish I'd bought some of those when I had the chance

Yes, its Snapdragon. They did a load of scatter cover, barricades, storage tanks, etc that I also have.
I don't know why Kerry never sold the masters/moulds when he stopped trading. I'm sure they would sell as, although a bit stylised, they have great detail and paint up very well.
