From China via eBay.

The seller's name is 'uptogethertek'.They sell a lot of scenery for models railroads, gaming etc. They are much cheaper than anywhere else I found.

The trees are ready made but don't come with a base (I just stuck them straight into a polystyrene base) and some of them could use a little trimming, but I got a whole jungle's worth (24 trees of varying sizes) for ¥1200. And it only took about 4 days to get here.

One warning, their eBay store seems to sell absolutely everything. Some of the things on the store front and NSFW. You have to look under their toys and hobbies section. :twisted:

hooray! yesterday I finished 5 corsairs for various squads, as well as getting a start on my Void Singer. I also watched the newish version of The Thing, which is actually so-so ok, and makes for reasonable background watching while you paint. Liked the end, too. Today, I went to a park with my parents, wife and kids, ate ice cream, then had a barbecue in the afternoon. Big thumbs up for Golden Week so far :D

Today I finished off my latest Bolt Action army. Well, when I say finished, I mean all the minis I currently have for it are painted. I may add more in the future, who knows. :D
First of all, the infantry. 30 Sikhs in British service.

And the accompanying small teams.

Close ups of the Indians, from left to right a Light Mortar, A PIAT and a Lieutenant.

Close ups of the British, clockwise from front middle, Medic, Sniper, Observers, Captain.

A Sherman

And the artillery (25 pounder), it's limber and it's tow.

And a close up of my favourite model in the army.

I need to buckle my swash, so I painted this chap.
He is the first of my En Garde ECW warband.

He has an impressive buckle right there on his chest. His swash is secure I think. :lol:
Looks awesome.

Today I placed an order for some terrain. Hopefully enough to give me a good starting point for a Yu Jing style table for Infinity and also some cool bits for a Post Apocalyptic City for This Is Not A Test. :D

@Spevna - Definitely more swash with the second one.

Today I put some basecoats down on some War of the Roses minis and also did a little dance for joy courtesy of:

Chris, our super sculpting Swede, has been putting the final touches to this big b*stard!

And the ettin has been set loose!

Ooh! A punisher tv series. Quite pleased about that :)

Also, nice ettin - I like me a good ettin from time to time.
