... and close the door on the way out.

What a cheek, Bezzo, muscling in on our job! Young Whippersnapper.  :o

(muffled): Yes I thought so, have ordered one will report back.
And this looks great (jumping up and down to show though the bit of glass at the top of the door):

http://www.petco.com/product/118900/Petco-Red-Wall-Asian-Temple-Entrance-Aquarium-Ornament.aspx

but only available in the US and the Petco site does not like UK post codes or phone numbers (ditto their ability to email them to ask why).
So if anyone in the US is reading this and could kindly ask Petco US how I can order one from the US I would be very grateful. Post here or PM me please.

(hot now from all that jumping)

Rolling the curtain over the glass, then lifting the letterbox.........

That looks great for a Samurai game, saddened to see that the paint comes off if left in water, but that's what happens when fish owners buy wargames scenery for their aquariums.... What are they like?  lol

Oddly Joroas, if I jumped higher and you looked out of the window at your house, you could probably see me as I'm on the Cotswold escarpment......

(Muffled, through the closed door): Has anyone see one of these in the flesh?

Boxers vs Starfleet...love it
I think I may have found a way to get a couple of these from over the pond
I can see them working in a set up with Jim Bibby's new Chinese buildings

Legal high? Bezzo, if I knew what one was mate......

This arrived this morning:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rosewood-Large-Temple-Ruins-Aquarium/dp/B004FGCXSM/ref=sr_1_48?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1359731025&sr=1-48

Excellent piece of kit and big. Perfect for 28mm.
Well cast and painted (although I may lose the gold leaf detail on the column heads...).
There is full detail on all the outward faces of this model.
Some work needed on the 'interior' of the piece as it is hollow. Easily done though with the insertion of a flagged floor and facings on the inward portions of the columns.
Reccomended

Pets at Home are having a 3 for 2 offer. These were priced at £15, £6 and £5 so I was expecting to pay £21 for all three. At the till they came up as £10, £5 and £4. All three for £15, bargain! I've put some miniatures in the photos so you can see the scale.









I think I might have to go back again tomorrow!

Heck, at that price even I might've gotten those and I don't even play historical/pulp games...

They don't seem to crop up that cheap even at flea markets here. Did buy a big bunch of aquarium plastic plants last Saturday tho. Just in case I'll have time to start working on a gaming table sometime in the next 5 years of so :?
