Wicker Man Figure
« on: November 21, 2018, 03:03:56 AM »
Does anyone know where I might find a 7-9 inch Wicker Man figure suitable for 28mm figures other than the one Ainsty Castings used to sell?
Thanks
Ben

Could you scratch build one?  Maybe get some plastic gabions from Renedra or Italeri and assemble them into a vaguely man-shaped sculpture?

If memory serves Ainsty Castings makes a lovely one.
I am looking for the following Deadlands minis:  Shotgun Thug, Lost Soul, Cleaners, Railroad Workers & Feral Dead. If you have any of these minis, or if you are one, please send me a PM.

Crooked Dice did a Kickstarter with one...they will probably release it in their shop soon:

Tried that...waited 7 weeks for delivery...it never came...Alan refunded my money, though...so I need to find an alternate source. I think I'll just scratch build one.
Thanks

I've seen that one.. It's really cool...its just not big enough to meet my needs...however, I did buy CD's Wicker Man human figures...as far as the actual wicker man, I've resigned myself to a scratch build.
Thanks
Ben
It is available.

Certainly...because I can't vouch or testify that they still actually sell one...I know I didn't get mine...
Thanks again

I would like to reiterate that Alan at Ainsty DID refund my money and was super nice about it...not trying to put him down at all...it just never arrived so I'm going another route...sometimes transactions just don't work out...I appreciate all of your input...I have decided to scratch build a wicker man...thanks again, all!
