Aquarium Supplies As Miniatures Terrain
Over the past few years, I’ve noticed that the variety and quality of aquarium decorations has really improved. When purchasing cat food and litter at the local mega pet store, I often stop in the fish section to take a look at their supplies. I’ve bought some very neat Mayan ruins, a few classical Greek structures, as well as Chinese pagodas for my Boxer Rebellion games. Good stuff, and well worth a look.
Here’s an article on using aquarium supplies as miniatures terrain.
