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,
Gareth
Make them out of mounting board......

53 degrees, not 45.
Here's a PDF at 1:2000 scale. http://www.korthalsaltes.com/model.php?name_en=square%20pyramids (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/ (http://www.pyramidmodels.com/shop/)
Hi Lemmey,
Yeah, I fell for the Pyramid Models one already ;D
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. :-\
Cheers - Phil.
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 ;D
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 =D>
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 :)

One handed surfing =O
I am pleased you are sticking to the task though: a lot of fellas waiting for Genghis and his boys :)
