Will these be avaliable outside of TradeMe ? One thing though, I'm not sure if you've noticed (  ) but the general public tend to be idiots so I think it'd be best to just add a 'this model is not included' tag to the description. |

yeah good point; I normally have to go and add "model not included" to all my auctions.
They are available to members for the moment at $12 each. As well as this standard pack, I also have the "Dungeons & Caverns" kit, which doesn't have any foliage type stuff, but has gravel and various packs of rubble / rocks / slabs, and a length of fine chain.

Say, any chance of being able to purchase the parts individually? In particular I'm looking for a good 'long grass' to use for water features and bases...and I don't really want to cut up hog-bristle paint-brushes  |

Not at this stage - have you tried the $2 shop for cheap brushes? Failing that the warehouse usually has big bundles of cheap brushes that are only good for pulling the bristles out.

I'll definitely have a look at Warehouse next time I'm there. Thanks for the tip!

...and you can always use the handles and ferules for sculpting tools.

Want cheap long grass?
I get a piece of rope (the type made with heaps of fibres)
Leave it in a bottle of watered down green paint to colour it.
Then cut it into grass lengths..it forms nice clumbs...can get different grades of ropes at mitre 10...just cut 1m of each and that should last you for ages!!

I just bought a load of old modelling magazines from the 70's, and they are full of great tips that I've either forgotten or never knew, including lots for doing groundwork, things like you mentioned there. I'll paraphrase them when I get a chance. (One even showed how to make my steel swords, so I guess I didn't invent them after all  ) |

Could you give us an idea of what the new bases look like Phil ?

I've just pulled the first set today, so will get them painted up asap.
There are rectangular flagstones, irregular cobbles, cracked earth, antislip plating and three miscellaneous techy sci-fi type flooring. (all 25mm round)
I've also today made masters for 20mm square flags, cobbles, floorboards and rocks. Should have the molds for these and other 20mm squares later this week.
