That's what I love about LAF. I have the Pegasus cacti, and I now realise that when I do glue them on CD bases for scatter terrain there will be a few additions of rocks, flowers and animal droppings on the base. It's all in the details.

Lovely additions Mason.

Great terrain pieces, even if the cactii are pretty small.  The real sajuaro are pretty freakin' huge.   lol

And I don't agree with Deafnala, we europeans know that the whole of US is full of cactuses ;)

And right you are! One of those things I noticed about us Americans is that if we like something & it doesn't grow were we live, we move it there...often wondering why it then dies.

Argh! Your pace is just making me feel swetty!  lol

That's some quality terrain pieces. In fact - my only peeve is that you've gone for the exact same shape on all 3.

I understand that CD*s may be readily available, but I think the symmetry can break up the illusion if it isn't done proper. But yours is of course because you're such a bastard! lol

Love the colours on the cactussssesessses  8)

Paul, the cactai look great and the wild flowers are a nice touch to your terrain too. You put together a good show with all your pictures. Thanks for the inspiration.

That's what I love about LAF. I have the Pegasus cacti, and I now realise that when I do glue them on CD bases for scatter terrain there will be a few additions of rocks, flowers and animal droppings on the base. It's all in the details.

Thanks, chaps!
Yep, I find that a little bit of extra fiddling really pays off.
Chucking an extra bit of scenic crap on it always helps... ;)

Dont say that, Elbows or those little Cacti could develop a complex.




Quick question though, why do I have the bloody bath house. The dentist and lady's outfitters I can understand... ???

Because you're a dirty dirty boy!

Bibbly - Bubbly makes sense to me  ;D

 lol
Dirty Boy or Bubbly Bibbly, take yer pick!
 :D

To be honest, the building was going to originally have a sign that said "Bibbles Bubbles" but I thought that would look a little silly.
 ::)
I was also influenced by the figure that I wanted to use for the Bath House owner, which IS now going to become Bibbles.
I just have to paint it after it has finished soaking in its Dettol bath.
You just wait until you see that, mate!
 :D

Dont say that, Matt.
He is a sensitive soul, ya know.
 :D

I can honestly say that no MDF was harmed in the making of this property.
These buildings were completely scratchbuilt by Bobble out of various materials and there is no Fibreboard that I can see.
(Apart from the base, but I added that... ::)).



And right you are! One of those things I noticed about us Americans is that if we like something & it doesn't grow were we live, we move it there...often wondering why it then dies.

It aint just Americans that do that.
My ex-wife did that to me and almost killed me..... >:D

Cheers, mate!
I shall drop you some antiperspirant when next we meet.
 ;)

Cd's were readily available, you are right.
They do blend in pretty well with the table, though, so I am not too fussed.

As for being a bastard: Not me, mate.
That would be Tom.
 :D



Speak of the Devil....... Tom the B*stard popped over last night for a game.
I wont post a full AAR as I didnt really take any piccies of the game, but I did get some of his new Prospector band of 'Nice*' Mountain Men.
I shall put them up later.



*Yeah, right.....

Its an advantage of being welsh that all a woman needs to do to look appealing to us is put on a wooly jumper.

That just sounds so wrong!

Like the mountain men a lot. Have you inherited these?

I agree!
(There is a lot of fuzz on show, though....).

No.
They belong to Tom the B*stard.
He used them in the game we played last night (Jailbreak).
And what a B*stard time they gave me.
 ;)
