I picked up this T-Rex skull kit at Marshalls tonight for $7.99.

I figure it will make a nice diorama element.

I found this cool dragin skull aquarium decoration tonight at Petco for $9.99!

I pried the red plastic jewels out of the eye sockets and plan to completely dremel out the sockets to more closely resemble an actual skull.

I picked up this Hallmark ornament at Walmart for $7.94.

It scales nicely with 3.75" figures.

Picked up 6 bags of these great glow in the dark "crystals" from Dollar Tree tonight!

They are a great scale for 1/18 customizing/diorama building as they are about 3/4 the size of an action figure's head.

Michaels has set up their 2019 "Tiny Treasures" spring collection. Most of the offerings are very cartoony looking but there are a few usable 1/18 offerings.

While running errands today, I went into ACMoore and saw that they have their "Woodland Garden" accessories stocked. There are a few items that could be of use to 1/18 scale collectors.

Remember that ACMoore often has 55% off coupons that will make these items really affordable.

Dollar Tree score!

The eggs are full of candy dinosaurs. The eggs will make great dragon eggs in a diorama.

Cheap diorama fodder finds!

The "Build A Straw" sets have returned to Dollar Tree! These sets are EXCELLENT for making pipes for dioramas and are only $1 per set making stocking up cheap and relatively easy. My wife picked this one up for me today, it was the only one in the store. I have many Dollar Trees in my hunting area so I will be on the look out for more.

The "Mini Garden Furniture" is from Family Dollar. They have many different pieces that fit different scales and range from $1-$5 each. The benches and stone paths were the best looking items in my preferred scale and were only $1 each.
