So I can contact them to get some of that stuff? Will do so. A vacation to Spain is also a great idea and indeed, we will go there this year but we will make a tour through the Pyrenees

Hi Hans
You can get the balls here
https://neptugmbh.de/shop/
I buyed the second offer.
Musterpaket gemischte schöne Neptubälle.
The selection of the balls was very good. Small, middle and big ones for a cheep price. Around 20 Euros incl. shipping for ca. 30 balls.
If they don't ship to the netherlands, send me a pn. I have enough balls left.
Regards Christian

That's a good one. Yep, they sure docand I'm happy cause these balls are hard to find so, give up your balls
They are used in diorama's to make grass and for (pine)trees.
