COMMENT: aqarium terrain from pets in store

[Fenryz]

Thats a great dioramapiece :) Ive seen a couple of smaller skulls, some dinosaurlooking bones, etc that would fit in good too, maybe some work here and there.

We hobbyists cant stop thinking about how to use stuff we see, its a good habit :)

NICE!

Chaos-y looking with a few places to stand, also instantly usable as it is and not too badly priced considering it's size, what's it made of?

Of course a few embellishments would really make it awesome - I'd put some scratch built balsa-wood doors or portcullises in those cave entrances, a few chaos shields and banner poles, a gnarled tree or 2 and maybe a walkway and steps around the top for a really Ian Miller inspired piece!

lol very funny! makes me wonder if there's more cool aquarium stuff out there to use for miniature gaming xD

[Fenryz]

Trixie, a german company makes a lot of stuff, viking helmets, skulls, tiny castles, etc. I was actually tempted to buy some acrylic crystals they made, thought about using them as props for the rpcampaign :p

[General Biakal]

this is in some kinda resin, and exceptional quality. i ALWAYS look at aquarium stuff, rocks, plants ruins ect can often be awesome

visit your local garden center! also

top tip. keep a cheap plastic two piece mini in your car, like the ones from black reach etc. they can be dead handy for scaling stuff you stumble upon...

That's true!

Good find!
Now I will look at pet shops in a different way, indeed I will start to take a look to all this kind of stores in my city... Why didn't I think of that before?!?

[General Biakal]

because i = rule

Found your skullrock on Amazon, General - and 2 other that would fit perfectly as terrain - unfortunately the link is obscenely long to link here... Its being sold by a company called Blue Ribbon.

[General Biakal]

that is just crying out to have some winding steps and a tall spindly watch-tower added to it!

Other interesting things you could find in aquaium stores (or in this case, in those low cost stores full of everything):



These fake water plants are perfect for a sci-fi alien vegetation or an exotic fatasy jungle! I only make the bases and glued them on. Price for all the six plants: only 3€ (about 2,5£).

I now have this urge to go shopping at my local pet store.  I don't have a dog, cat or any other pet.  :)
