Some Scenery Bits From The Pet Shop

The statues of Resurrection Island?
I picked these up in a buy two get the (cheapest) third free offer at Pets At Home. The three items came to less than £9 GBP, and are items for aquariums/aquaria.

They come with a couple of holes (for retail tags to feed through) which needed filling and so since they have needed a little green-stuffing, I will be repainting them. They are pictured with June Summers (Pulp City) to show scale.

The Easter Island heads (maybe Resurrection Island could be a 'location' in the southeastern Pacific Ocean?) will be painted a basic stone grey. I can see these used on Kodo Island (Pulp City), as well as for Pulp or Victoriana gaming, or maybe even sci-fi on some back-water planet.

Unusual rock formation
The rock formation interested me for the cover possibilities& with the aperture. That will be painted to match the Ziterdes Modular Gaming Table boards I picked up a couple of months ago. It will not be staying that colour, trust me!

Expect more pictures when they are painted.

  3. Those heads are excellent, what a terrific find, not too sure on the candy-rock, though a repaint will no doubt chnage it dramatically.

    1. I can visualize the rocks and think it will look suitable and suitably odd, but nonetheless should make an interesting gaming piece.

    1. Grey stone look definitely for the heads/idols.

      The rock formation is going to be be very dark grey to match some Ziterdes MGT boards will be painting.
