Living close to the beach, we spend quite a bit of time in the water looking for fossils – sharks teeth, ray plates, crocodile teeth, etc. I also grab nice looking rocks that may work as good miniature terrain. At the same time I started picking up washed up barnacles. (Don’t worry – nothing alive in these. We didn’t evict any creatures from their homes.) Below are some pictures alongside some 6 mm sci-fi miniatures. I think they work pretty well; maybe I’ll add some color to some of them and put on a coat of varnish to keep those with natural color from losing it.
