Dino Bones.
« on: 02 March 2009, 12:29:39 PM »
For anyone interested in dino hunting Poundland are selling dinosaur skeletons ideal for 25/28mm. In my local store they've got the T-rex, Velociraptor, Stegosaurus and Triceratops. Funnily enough they are a £1 each!     
Don't!

No Poundland near me.   :(

Do they look as if they could be easily broken apart for "loose" bones?

I would say yes. I'll get a pic up for you when I'm home later.

There ya go. The pic isn't far off actual size, I reckon the model stands about 15-20cm in height but like you I'm going to break it up:

Thats a good effective way of getting dino skeletons or getting them embeded in the earth. Cheap too.  ;)

I saw these in our Poundland the other day and considedred getting a couple. But then I got horribly confused by the instruction on the box to "Be Like Fossil!" and all I could think of was:



It was all too much and I had to leave the store.

I got you and Malamute a T-rex when I saw them but I'll venture back into the beastie infested wilderness and get you the Triceratops.

I did this with pretty much one of these kits. Im not sure if its the same, as I got it off Dewbakuk.

It was very easy to seperate the bones with a saw.

Curtis, they sell that skeleton too so I'm thinking it's from the same collection.

Malamute, usual commission rules apply.
