Anyone know where I can get...

Hi all,

If this topic is open elsewhere please let me know.  I thought it would be useful to have somewhere folks could ask the wider community to locate resources.

So...

Anyone know where I can get decent sized pyramids in resin or similar?

Cheers,

Here's a PDF at 1:2000 scale. http://www.korthalsaltes.com/model.php?name_en=square%20pyramids
Garden centre fish tank sections often contain hidden gems.


Unfortunately pyramid models don't sell pyramids! http://www.pyramidmodels.com/shop/

Hi Lemmey,

Yeah, I fell for the Pyramid Models one already  

I know I COULD make them Ian but I don't like the feel or look of card buildings and, truth be told, I'm a pretty decent painter but a DREADFUL modeler.

Thanks for the replies guys

Have you tried new age shops or charity shops selling things like healing pyramids etc

Hovels Resin ?
There's a pic of a 1:200 one in google images if you type in resin pyramids.
Can't find it on the Hovels site though.

How about the Early learning centre for wooden blocks they might do a pyramid shaped one you could convert a bit

Not thought about that Fenton: yeah, I will give the beardy wierdys a go  

I saw the same one on google Techno but can't find anywhere to buy it.  Anyway, why are you reading blogs?  Get sculpting my Mongols

Oh dear lord,

I thought us gamers were a bit weird...type in wooden pyramids to google and you'll find we're comparatively normal.  Comparatively

The Hovels pyramid is in their 1/200 fantasy section

Badda bing,

Thanks Fenton.  Saw this one years ago but never managed to find it since.  What an efficient little forum this is.

Thanks one and all

Museum gift shops are a good (if often expensive) source of pyramids, sphinxes, obelisks and seated pharoah statues.

I'll second charity shops as a source of all sorts of cheap scenery for games.

Hovels have standing and fallen obelisk and a sphinx as well as the pyramid iirc.

Yeah, thanks Ithoriel: checked out Hovels this morning and placed an order.  Hadn't thought about charity shops though.  Cheers

I mix putty with one hand while I have a quick 'surf'.  .....So I am still working.

I am pleased you are sticking to the task though: a lot of fellas waiting for Genghis and his boys
