Title: Skeleton on gibbet
Post by: oxiana on 03 August 2009, 03:58:56 PM: Does anyone know who makes a 28mm skeleton hanging from a gibbet? I'm after one that I could bend into service as a skeleton as used in old science lessons and anatomy classes. Thanks.

Yes! I have seen one, in fact I think I have one somewhere in the lead pile, now for the eife of me I can't remember who makes it. ::)

Fear not, I will remember and get back to you....

I've never bought their stuff before - are there any UK stockists? (Alternatively, are postage rates from the US fairly reasonable?)

Ebob has some cheap and accurate skellies (http://www.ebobminiatures.com/products/skellies.jpg).

Gibbets you can get from BTD (bulky lead) or GW's giant set (thin plastic).

Miniature figurines had them and i believe Leisure Games are going to be stocking them.

Post by: Dr. Pepper on 05 August 2009, 04:19:23 AM: I saw this post and it got me thinking how I can make a quick cheap gibbet. I didn't have a figure to use so I made a clay mould of a dixon figure of a man hanging. Once the mould was made I just pushed in some clay to make a new figure (its not great, but the guy should be decaying anyway). I sculpted the back of the figure by hand, and built the gibbet from some cardboard. In about and hour I had a gibbet.

For that particular figure...LINK (http://www.miniature-heroes.co.uk/browse/reaper-miniatures/chronoscope/view/50052-reaper-professor-laura-pringle.html) You need to be QUICK though...

Post by: oxiana on 05 August 2009, 09:19:40 AM: Thanks all. It's the first time I've ever posted a question and someone has actually gone out and made a model in response - nice work Dr Pepper!

I'm really after the skeleton more than anything, and those Ebob ones look like a good option. I'll put 'em on the list...
