Thanks to aquarium suppliers, and rather a lot of filling to make a flimsy resin shell able to face active service.

Very cool, it certainly looks the part! I look at aquarium stuff sometimes, and have often thought some of the ruined castles would be fine to use but ive never taken the plunge...semi-pun partiality intended...

Most of my Nam terrain came from fish tank stuff stores! They also do rather nice Doric columns occasionally!

But the problem is that now I'll have to get an army of the recently-released Newlines Egyptians.

It also brought the Egyptians good luck: the Byzantine invasion was defeated.

And of course you'll want the three pyramids behind the sphinx at Giza, and the temple in front of it, and possibly a section of the Nile - what have you started?

You'll notice in the picture that I've had to put the pyramid in the distance to hide its hopeless comparative scale. Since to scale it would have to be nearly two feet high, I make no apologies.

Well, of course, if you go to Karnak there are whole rows of mini-sphinxes lining the way. Perhaps one escaped?

What's two feet between friends? It looks fine to me.

Two feet between friends could cause all sorts of problems....

Or perhaps you misunderstood the point of which is the larger original. That sphinx is far too large next to the pyramid, not the other way around.

There are loads of smaller pyramids in Egypt, looks fine to me

Ah, you reassure me.

One of them is small, but the other one is very far away...
