The houses and buildings would be perfect scale for 15mm pulp  ;)

Picked up a few more pieces, one for Darkest Africa/Lost World scenarios and a couple more for the Country Manor Chinese Garden/Tong games (more on the blog)...

They look very nice, and what a timesaver. They do seem a bit small, however. More like 20mm than 28mm. Really only an issue for the buildings.

You're right. The way I'm getting around that is the oriental buildings are part of an oriental garden in a stately home...recently become home to the Inscrutable One, leader of the Black Dragon Tong...and so everything is in miniature!

I saw you'd picked up some of the dragons amongst other things. I also have one of those tunnel mouths...though it cost me £7 or £8 if I remember right...perfect Lost World scenery. I was even more impressed with your Victorian Balloon...that will look fab for IHMN games!!

Regarding the young lady with dagger in front of Skull Mountain:  :-*

Which manufacturer makes that miniature?

I believe its a Northstar Evil Priestess from their fantasy worlds range. They're pretty expensive for Northstar but clearly beautiful and unusual miniatures.

I was thinking the same thing, and bit my tongue. Those of who revere the name of Major General Tremorden Rederring have no compunctions of scale getting in the way of table efficiency!

Of course, that was before I saw your explanation, and 'yeah, that works.'  ;)

Handsome beasts. I recently picked up some resin Foo Dogs/Temple Lions at a martial art store. Much more expensive, heavy to transport, but think they'll stand up well. Most of the aquarium stuff is built with 'it'll be safe in water' in mind.

Though, again on second thought, at the price differences, you can carry several spares if replacements are needed.  lol
