While building jungle and fighting the NVA along the HCMT, i did something a little different. The T-rex lumbering through the forest is from Papo and the Velociraptor being hunted by the homo erectus javanensis, is form Schleich.
-
"Pulp" is in the eye of the beholder. :D
I'm glad you posted it here, because it looks amazing!! :-* :-*
-
Well, thanks but lots of it was 'ready made'. The dinos are pre-painted from Papo and Schleich. And the jungle is build form aquarium deco and other bits that were already there. The miniature was painted by me. Also the picture were made by me. So i am a bit like a director. Lovely.
-
I like it.
-
I like it, and I think anything with dinosaurs and cavemen together is decidedly pulp!
The scenery looks good, having multiple levels like that should be interesting. Too many of our tables are too flat.
-
Looks Pulp to me.
Just consider this: If there is a chance that you would find it in a circa 1930's adventure magazine/comic book it is more than likely Pulp (with a capital P).
-
Cavemen + Dinosaurs = Pulp in my book. Of course, lost submarine crews and European expeditions make it more pulpy, but the cavemen and dinosaurs alone is just great. I also like how many Pulp prehistoric stories have different levels of humans in the same world/time. i.e. Turok Son of Stone, The Land that Time Forgot, etc...
Your photos look like mock-ups for a movie scene. Gotta get some cavemen and dinosaurs.

.....mock-up for a movie scene.....i take that as a compliment as i am sure that's how meant it. Although i am trying to build a realistic piece of Laotian real estate, i think that my ideas and its execution are heavily influenced by the stories of Tarzan and especially his ventures into Pal-ul-don and Pelucidar and King Kong. As a child i grew listening to the stories my father told about Tarzan and reading a comic of King Kong.
I think i am quite ready for just one more adventure.

Like it!
Yes, it is Pulp!
Now, where are the '30s folks with the weaponry?
Just me.

Then you need to pay a visit and spend some dough at three specific sites:
Pulp Figures http://pulpfigures.com/main.php?custID=75157802271218649991
Artisan http://www.artizandesigns.com/
Copplestone http://www.copplestonecastings.co.uk/
There are some other decent pulp figures at Brigade;
http://www.brigadegames.com/
Sgt. Major Minaitures may also have some figures you would like.
http://sgmm.biz/Pulp_c_57.html
Now a good site for period vehicles, if you can afford them, is Blue Moon
http://www.bluemoonmanufacturing.com/index.php
The best place to buy them though is at Old Glory if you buy the membership
http://www.oldgloryminiatures.com/
Best of luck on your pulp gaming.

There are lots of nice die cast vehicles going cheap as well, take a look at EBay foe Lledo, for instance......
-
or Matchbox's (which was or had Lledo as a part of) Models of Yesteryear.
The problem here is with the prices versus your dedication.
If you contantly monitor the auctions and sales on eBay, you can get what you desire at a very reasonable price.
There are just some sellers though that act like their cars are the hottest items on eBay and/or made from gold and their mania is reflected in their prices.
I know, I know, some of you think that of all items and/or all sellers there.
I feel though the die-cast car sellers are the worst that I have experienced yet on a consistent basis.

Thanks all of you for the comments and advice. However, pulp will be a occasional sideline for me. My main efforts in the the hobby will be oriented towards Fantasy and Vietnam.
-
Yes. :D
-
Yes. :D
What? Are you happy that i leave Pulp to others or that i will concentrate on Fantasy and Vietnam? :D
-
Daily life in the Lost World. Yes, Pulp indeed.
-
Sorry about the unearthing of this topic, but; would Turok Son of the Stone be considered Pulp or would it be in a different section? I have just finished painting many Woodland Indians and had spotted some dinosaur models at a local craft store with the idea of doing the old comic book version of Turok Son of the Stone.

I have a fairly loose definition of pulp, so I'd say Turok would fit. ;)
I hope we get to see some of your work.
HAVE FUN

Indeed. When i was young (even younger then now) i collected Tarzan comics but also had one or two from Turok. And it seems to me that there ample reasons to pulpify good old Turok as he is somewhere it the same game as the old ape-man invented by Burroughs. ;-)
