Title: Buddhist Shrine Diorama - Looking for Monk minis
Post by: pnweerar on January 31, 2008, 05:29:53 AM: Ladies and Gents,

I'm building a Buddhist diorama for a shrine (as in a real shrine, for real worship). I'm using this lovely piece from Armorcast's "Wild Steam Creations" line as the Buddha statue:

I need some Buddhist monk minis to go with it. Anyone know where I can find any? Specifically I need some Teravada (the saffron robe types), but a few other sorts wouldn't hurt either.

Thanks in advance!

Can't really argue with that, although some of it is quite good. Unfortunately though, for Irregular, other stuff is amazing.
