nice dino herd.  wait a minute - what are they running from? i gotta bad feeling about this.

[Hammers]

Practical and fun. Good on ya!

[Arundel]

That's quite a herd!

[Argonor]

What a load of... dinos 

[MalcyBogaten]

I do own a lot of Metal and Plastic Dinos!

Some start out in Neon and Day Glow colours! But I try to look at the detail on the models and think how a bit of paint would look on them?

A medium sized Carnosaur or small T-rex type.


A slightly larger of the above!


Now both of these were found in poly bags of toy dinosaurs. The top one being a very lurid yellow and green rubbery plastic, before I painted it. The bags varied in content, the top pictured dino came in a pack of 5 for £1. The bottom 3 Dinos for £2.50 but they were larger and more useful content. (Included one of my many Ceratops as well as a very nice Iguanodont type)

Basically you know what to do. Examine these toys closely. You may be surprised at the detail.

Great!

[MalcyBogaten]

I've just started putting together the bits! "Again!"

I have so much fun just messing about with all the terrain and temples! I thought I'd include some pictures of components as well!

The Sun came out just as I took this!!

The Sun went back in!

Hopefully the main point of contention! Archaeological Camp!


And now the components some to be added but not all of them! (And by no means everything I've got!)

Some of my Smaller Palm tree clumps, Boulders and bushes.

An extra box of Larger Palm trees and bushes.


Like I said work in progress and I'm trying not to make it too crowded! More stuff under the table, on the shelves and up the stairs!

Hope it gives you more inspiration!

Just brilliant!   

[Rhoderic]

Cool! Obviously a lot of dedication went into this. I'm envious

In Lieu of actually playing a game last Friday. Myself and the Guys had a massive chat over the terrain.

One of my friends gave me the money to go back into Birmingham and revisit the shop to get more train sets, so we could modify them for even more adventure!

I thought I'd upload the piccies of the front of the train set box as previously piccied here so you could see what to look for?
Sorry it's a bit dark! Plus the pre-modified and painted cargo truck stock with it's truly massive barrel cargo!
I have had some ideas regarding the coal tender, but want to talk it over with the guys in person this Friday before doing more!
The bits do come apart comparatively easily so modifying the rolling stock does seem to be a breeze!

I ended up getting 2 of the same set as the very nice shop owner said I could have both for £10. I didn't even have to ask for a discount!!

Anyway here are the pics!
Overall.

Closer look.

Cargo Truck and Barrels! (Massive)

Here's some more stuff I made and found in Tat shops!!
There's 2 of the Bigger slightly raised bases for the City Temples of Jaffa! Used as either raised courtyards or foundation plinths for the bigger temples. (Artists canvas given the label treatment! Don't know whether to give them scatter yet?)
The labels do strengthen the canvas (£1 each by the way!) but I wouldn't put anything to heavy on it!

Wide Plinth


Watch Tower


Same again out of focus but the figure gives some idea of scale.


Statue head found for 99p in 99p shop? Strange enough?


The watchtower is one of three I picked up with some really awful plastic WW2 troopers. But for £1 a pack I thought, what the heck?
There were also some useful looking signs in the same pack which will be added to various scenarios. Plus some more palm trees which you can never have to many of!

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

More great finds!

[Eric the Shed]

which shop did you pick the watchtowers up in please

[MalcyBogaten]

But you won't see the packs on their website. At least I didn't. See if there is one near you using their store finder.
But it will probably be potluck if they have bags of these armymen type tat in stock!

I only saw them by accident! I think they are called "Warfare"

Good luck!
