Great thank you. I saw some today and didn't have a scale checking model with me. Love what you've done with them.

Thanks  :D
The bench & the chair are a bit big, but for a daft Chrimbo game they will do, I also got some candy cane & icicle tree ornaments from Yorkshire trading (£1.50 for 6) as well as some trees (£1.50 for 2) to make more scatter terrain

I got an elf house, there was also what looked like a 5 or 10mm mosque.

One for the 40mm wargamers amongst us.
The Works (UK) has, as part of their Easter range,
some picket fencing.
Figure in the picture is 40mm.
£1 a packet.

🤔 could I justify buying into a 40mm project because I’ll save hugely when I buy the fences for the obviously needed new terrain?

I've decided to do some 40mm up,
a) to scratch the 40mm itch that I have.
b) cuz I saw some ACW 40mm on e-bay cheap (£1 a figure)
c) Sarrissa discounted their 40mm ACW buildings while I was dithering.

So these 'picket fences' are ideal, for me at least.  lol

Not Poundland, but the Works:

Works are selling packs of "Wooden Coasters", £2 for a pack of 6.  2mm MDF, 100mm square with rounded corners; should be invaluable for scenic, vignette or small vehicle bases. Warbases charge £1.95 for a pack of 4 that size!

Wilko has gone in to administration today so UK gamers get in quick and stock up anything you use from there. I have already been in and hoovered up a bag of 30mm washers, no 25mm ones left. No glue either, I guess that was one of the suppliers they hadn't paid.

I just rediscovered this thread and actually the linked thread should belong here. Tedi has excellent GW-sized round bases.

Poundland have some more resin bits in, there’s some fence bits & park benches that aren’t that good & a bit oversized but they also have some Tori (?) gates (I think that’s what they are called, I’m a bit ignorant on that stuff) for £1 each, which I thought was ok, bases are a bit wonky but easy to sort out.
So I bought a couple for Pulp Alley games.
