Craft Store Pumpkins for Basing and Terrain

[MoonglowMinis 948]

Not super sure where to post this but this made the most sense to me. I found some fantastic miniature pumpkins at my local Joann Fabrics.

 

 

Hopefully you can find them elsewhere if you don't have a Joann's.

They come in $10 bags that are pretty big. I don't see myself ever needing to buy more. 

 

 

They say "fall drieds" which makes me think they're some kind of organic. But they have the consistency of some kind of acorn or pinecone. So pretty solid. I don't think they'd deteriorate but if you're worried I'm sure a sealant of some kind would do the trick. 

 

 

They come in a mix of sizes but they all look pretty good at 28mm scale. The cutting mat has half-inch squares.

Most of the pumpkins are of the artistically exaggerated size compared to a mini, and the smaller ones tend to be darker and a bit more mishapen. The coloration in them is pretty decent. I think they could use a layer of highlights but if you're in a hurry or making a huge pumpkin patch, then they look just fine. 

 

Anyways, I hope this is useful for someone!

Those are fairly common in craft stores this time of year and a bag that size will go a long way.

Yup, I got some of those as well.

Always useful.

Those are SPLENDID looking. There is a lot of potential there.
