Great idea with the acorns :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
what have you filled them with?

Coriander seeds ( look like onions)
Mustard seeds
Fennel seeds
Chopped parley
Caraway seeds
Nigella seeds

Have added a touch of colour to some of these…..will post up picture later

Well if they don't work out as scatter items you have most of the makings of a decent Morrocan tajine.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio năo tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeăo mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

You can paint them in diluted pva or pour superglue over them which I did.

Those acorn baskets and their fillings are great, looking forward to seeing them 'in color'.  Alas, not so workable in 15 mm - but Baueda to the rescue!

Yup..probably too big for 15mm.


Anyway, still waiting on tyres and other cargo bits….but the boats are done.   I will need more crew though.

Picture set up with my attempt at a napalm strike!

Cheers guys.

Wife was throwing out fibre filled pillow so thought I’d make four sections of napalm like this.



Whilst at it I made three coloured smoke markers too.  No idea if I need any of these…but hey ho.

You need "grape" - purple smoke.  But looks good.
