A brief encounter with a larger scale

Purchased the below 9 packs this past Saturday and hoping to find out some more information on the range which I believe is Out of Production. 









The below image shows a figure (inside the unopened package) as being 25 mm from bottom of foot to eyes.


edit: unrelated to above but I have today adjusted the Pages options to the left side of the Home page so that only Pages that work are there.  I did a little renaming to accommodate the eventual topics I want to fit under the Pages 'umbrella'.

Cacti Revisited

Took some time to sort my cacti - now have 190 - and was able to sort them into groups of 3 and every group of 3 (63 of them) has all different models, plus one lone and unique metal sculpt of a cacti.  However, I am going to still go with groups of 9, 6, and 3 cacti so the larger groupings might duplicate a little bit.  Breakdown will be:

11 groups of 9 - 99 cacti, around 12 square inches, 132 total

10 groups of 6 - 60 cacti, around 9 square inches, 90 total

10 groups of 3 - 30 cacti, around 4 square inches, 40 total

1 'group' of 1 -  1 cacti, around whatever it turns out to be, undecided

That will be around 262 square inches of cacti, not quite two square feet - however, by spreading them out a bit can cover a much larger area in cacti.  And important to note that the bases will not be square at all but irregularly curved bits.  The 'eleventh' group of 9 cacti will definitely be a multi-level base, some of the other bases and sizes might also be but this one will be a prominent terrain piece.

Oh, and courtesy of the 3D printing phenomenon, I have some 15 mm rattlesnakes to add into the mix!
