Superb.

Wracking my brain for a reason to buy the bunnies...

Can't think of one now, but will try much harder. Must have the tiny bunnies!

I'm planning on putting the bunnies in various hedgerows. May stick some free range chickens in there as well. I guess next we need foxes.

You need a pest controller for the rabbits - a man in a trench coat -  Rick Barlow -  the most popular unmade figure in the Pendraken range!

My (semi-serious) thought on rabbits was as an obstacle for cavalry - not the rabbits themselves, but certainly their 'oles.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Oooh, useful for both objectives and table dressing in games.

Given that I've been looking at a 28mm scale cat miniature I need to paint and thinking how small that is, those rabbits must be tiny, good to have the stuff available though.

Absolutely EXCELLENT! And you can be sure a pack of rabbits, or bunnies to bunny people, will be in my next order.

I already have a HotT Watership Down army partially started with each figure named for a character in the story. My wife and I love the story, and bunnies, so much that we have made two trips across the pond just to visit the places in the story - which are all real places and mostly as they looked when Mr. Adams wrote the story. Our last trip in 2012, was very special as we had tea with Mr. and Mrs. Adams in their home at their request. A truly magical experience for us!

You had lunch with Richard Adams?

Blimey! What this forum has been up to.

Great story! I too am impressed.
I assume the fires have been well east of you?

We did indeed.


Here we are at "The Great Beech in the beech hanger on top of Watership Down. The names of the rabbits from the story are carved in it. Yes, it is an old, dead tree but because of the names it has been left there. A new tree has recently been planted in it's honor.



And here is a panorama of the Down. A truly beautiful sight!



Yes, the fires were about 200 miles east of us, but we still had a smokey atmosphere even this far away. Wild fires are a BIG problem over here, but usually out west and it seems in Florida as the most common places. Thank you for asking.

Great pics!

Actually I'm on your side of the pond about 500 miles north on the east slope of the Alleghenies.

Is that enough of an address? Could Mr 37 find you from that? Is it like those documentaries with Clint Eastwood where he's told "'bout 100 miles across the desert" and remarkably he finds exactly what he's looking for?

Wow! Americans are so geographical.
