Title: Animals from ModelU

Presumably you only need one pack of rabbits to then have the layout overrun :D

Better value from Pendraken (https://www.pendraken.co.uk/10mm-animals-835-c.asp).

I had never heard of 10mm scale before,  they do some interesting figures although I must admit that I prefer figures without bases.

I have 2 alligators lurking on my layout beside the lake, waiting for unsuspecting swimmers, just for a bit of fun

:P :P

Finished 3D prints by Snoci-73, he does some more exotic animals in n gauge, and at very reasonable cost

Comparing the ModelU scanned bunnies and the ones from Pendraken look to be a good example of the concept that cheap and good value are not always the same thing.

I think at that scale you would be hard pressed to notice any difference in quality,  once painted

After spending most of Easter with me granddaughters, I'm totally over bunnies especially chocolate ones!

I could make a possible exception with Playboy bunnies  ;)

They're primarily for tabletop wargaming, so there's more need to be able to pick up and move the models around and for them to be able to stand on their own rather than have them permanently glued to a layout.
