Arctic Adventures: The Frost Expedition

[jet]

Yes, I've looked at the Copplestone penguins but I may see what other Arctic creatures are out there.

Wow! Love your buildings! Tell me that isn't just a tin can cut in half? *Wanders off to open a can of peaches*

sakura - where did you get that u-boat top-deck?  if you made it, are there some how-to's?

mega miniatures had some seals but I do not know whether they or some other has them.
nikolai miniatures had some seals, igloos, kayak etc. they are in resin in 1/72 scale but still usable ...

see some seals :

jet,

The buildings were made for me by my friend Hugh.  The roofs are made from corrugated cardboard but the end walls appear to be fasioned from a carton lid.

pistolpete,

Hugh again and he actually made two as he had several ideas and could not decide which looked better.





The main components are from a game called "Mousetrap" and more of that corrugated cardboard.

The Pinguinjagers are the only sculpts that I have ever commissioned as I could not resist the humourous idea of neat little rows of trained penguins greeting their German masters in the frozen wastes of NeuSchwabenland.  They were actually used as Victory Point counters in a Public Participation game where two teams raced to find a crashed German flying saucer.  Much hilarity ensued and the victors were rewarded with a Penguin biscuit.

Does anyone know what size these are? http://www.miniaturemarket.com/ffgdt061.html

I really think they could work well on my Arctic table.

Agreed! I've had my eye on those models for awhile and they should work well for your Arctic setting.

Shipping to Canada is the killer. It's becoming ridiculous trying to get things delivered to Canada from the States.
