Guess what I found on my holiday...
« on: August 21, 2015, 01:45:24 PM »
Whilst travelling the states (namely Florida) I took the opportunity to search for some bits and bobs - I almost came away empty handed until I spotted this in a Pets Smart...for $40

It stands 15 inches tall - 12 inches wide and 18inches long - figure shown is 28mm





perfect for my pulp games - once it has been modified

cheers

That's not a camel pack.....its inflatable. Flat pack scenery. Score! Great find Giles. I take it the holiday was good too?

I take it you went prepared with an empty suitcase, it must have taken up a lot of room?

Wrapped in dirty underwear no doubt...

I've see that piece before at Sinewgrab's place. Need to buy one myself.

A nice solid casting. The tube is for an aeration system for a fish tank. I've got one and it makes a great dominating piece of terrain.

I picked up this model from e-bay in Australia many months ago. Great piece of terrain. Sitting on my library shelf waiting for some further work.
Best wishes,

We have a thread on items found in pound-stores, maybe we should have a thread for fish tank scenery as a LOT of people have bought them for gaming pieces and we are always impressed, that way we could have links to the pieces and photos of the end product?

It does look bloomin good and I imiagine it will be turned into something more spectacular too :D
