Do you have pics?

I here you go










All have been repainted & based apart from the bench

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 
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.

They are down to 25p each, just got 10 more elf houses 🤣

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.

Well spotted!

Well spotted! 

And cheap (the fence bits, not me  ) 10 sections in a £1 pack.

🤔 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.

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.

Holiday season again, so there's a fair chance some of you will be headed for Europe and the delights of Tedi. The German chain has appeared before, but I've only seen them in Spain and never failed to find something useful. This trip I came back with a pack of 4 paint mixing pots for a Euro, plus these 4: two grades of miscellaneous rocks and two shades of sand, 700g tubs for one Euro each. Other grades/colours are available. You may have to get a move on to find them at that price though, as newer packs stacked alongside seem to be 500g - I assume for the same price as there's no large label.


Watch out you don't go over your baggage limits at the airport though - that would negate the savings a bit!
