There are def some out there, I have seen them in the last 12 months some place on the 'webs for some ones 6mm fantasy table. I should have pictures saved some where but in the middle of dinner so cant look now.

It might be worth looking through irregulars 6mm/10mm section as I know for a fact they do 6mm palm trees, and they DO have a 6mm western section. If anywhere does them I would bet on them being from there, as the I'm sure the chap that made the fantasy boards uses a lot of there other stuff.

I think it might be the ones at the back, those these might be the hobbycraft ones...

I couldnt find the exact blog post that says exactly how he made the terrain, which I know he said were the cactus was from.


Sadly irregular still live in the 90's, the good old days of black and white catalog miniature ordering! However I have taken many chances with their stuff, and though not as good quality of CinC, GW, onslaught etc... they do have a very large 6mm range, and almost ever thing I have ordered from them has been just what I expected or better, and even some that were beyond excellent! (their ratman range fro instance)



If no luck from irregular or they are too large (depending on what you will be using them for) Hobby craft use to carry a range of very small cacti for doll houses. There were pricey when brand new, but I did see them on sale for dirt cheap a year ago. Maybe even try an actual doll house store.

I have seen some pretty nifty railway layouts set in western/gold rush times so I am surprised that they isnt a market for z scale cacti! The only thing I can think off is that they have some cheap and easy way to make their own. But I dont really recall if the layouts even used them! This was long time ago, during my pre miniature days, back when railways were all I knew!

The good thing about irregular ones is that they are a good soft metal which is very easy to cut and bend. If they are the same then it wont take much to cut and bend them to some new shapes.

Have you thought about making/buying one or two and then using that magic copy stuff for green stuff? I forget what its called, cool mini or not sell it in there shop. I know its not great and it takes a long time to cure, but it might an option to add some variety.

If I was ordering anything from there I would grab a couple to photo for you but sadly I placed a huge order a while back to stock up on rats as I intend to quit my job next year so I have been over buying minis these past few weeks so I have plenty to keep me busy when I do! Mrs Rex would bite my head off if I do another irregular order this month, along with the CinC stuff I already did! Which is a shame, cause now having looked at them for you, I really fancy some for my space orcs! haha!

I found once a bunch of cacti on ebay.

I think they were from the Pegasus set. I only have the smallest ones.
