Post by: Heldrak on 29 September 2009, 03:45:33 PM: ...and what rules set are you using? What kind of scenarios?

Those look like great fun warbands to play...!

Post by: njetkulturny on 29 September 2009, 04:41:42 PM: Good painting on all the factions, but especially the Renegade Legion figures from Artizan are in perfect colours.
Have some somewhere. Should paint...more...often...and resist to new ones......

Here is a pic of some of the jungle pieces we've been using, with one of Perilous Island's terrors lurking in the background --

These are my attempts at carving my own moai-like statues out of some old styrofoam I had lying about --

I kept this truck fairly plain so I could use it more easily in a variety of roles --

Post by: RJ on 01 October 2009, 02:01:45 PM: Great looking minis and scenery!

I really like the foreign legion group, very inspiring
Title: Re: Perilous Island (Pulp Campaign)
Post by: gamer Mac on 01 October 2009, 03:28:11 PM: Some lovely figures and models. :-*
Paint jobs on the Dinos and the truck are outstanding :-* :-*
Is the truck a die cast?
Title: Re: Perilous Island (Pulp Campaign)
Post by: d phipps on 02 October 2009, 10:32:39 AM: The truck is from Blue Moon - Motor City USA: Series 3 ''Trucks'' - Short Bed Stake Truck.

It is mostly one piece of resin (body including fenders). If I remember correctly, I think it had about 14 assorted metal bits - wheels, axels, windscreen frame, roof, bumpers, headlights, etc,...

A nice little model. I was very happy with how it scales up next to my minis. Here is an older bench-pic --

Title: Re: Perilous Island (Pulp Campaign)
Post by: mikeygees on 04 October 2009, 12:37:59 AM: Very nice stuff, ecspecially love the Dino's. Amazing what a little searching and imagination can do to save money. :)

Post by: Boggler on 06 October 2009, 02:25:31 PM: Lovely stuff!

Would you mind if I copied some of your dino pictures over to the Lost World Safari yhoo group please?

Thanks

Please do!

She was unstoppable the last time she took the table, but we are hoping to playtest the new allosaur rules again this weekend. So maybe I can get some action-shots posted by next Monday.

THANKS!

Post by: Schweizer on 01 November 2009, 11:28:08 PM: These are just fantastic - I love how you taken seemingly disparate figures and, through color, made them feel like part of a cohesive group - Wolf's men, especially.

The dinos are nice, too - there aren't a whole lot of kid toys whose scale translates nicely, but luckily dinosaurs are just big enough, exaggerateable enough, and numerous enough in toy form to be perfect for this sort of thing. Really nice paint jobs.

Post by: d phipps on 02 November 2009, 04:17:11 PM: Here is a quick pic of some toys that are finally ready to leave the workbench --

I'll try to get some better pics posted soon.

Thanks!

Post by: Alcide Nikopol on 02 November 2009, 08:02:04 PM: Those figures are painted quite well but I am also interested is seeing some more pictures of those huts. Did you make those yourself?
Title: Re: Perilous Island (Pulp Campaign)
Post by: Grimm on 02 November 2009, 09:19:09 PM: Oh these Figures are very nice painted ,good work .
please more :)
Title: Re: Perilous Island (Pulp Campaign)
Post by: Mr.Dodo on 03 November 2009, 10:42:25 AM: Great figures. Always exciting to see toys rather than figures made to fit the purpose. Really looking forwards now to hearing about the game. And yes, also curious about that hut.
Thankyou.

Post by: Furt on 03 November 2009, 10:52:03 AM: This gun looks to be a great one.

Can't wait to see more of the island's terrain.

Just :-* it!
Title: Re: Perilous Island (Pulp Campaign)
Post by: d phipps on 03 November 2009, 02:45:21 PM: Thanks guys!

Yes, the huts are scratch-built. I've been working on-and-off on these damn huts for way too long. I am happy with how they turned out, but even happier that they are finally done! :)
