Pics of some resin skull piles I've finished recently. Wondering if some piles with a flat edge for fitting up against walls would be useful? Or maybe a skull pit?
-
They do add to the sinister dungeon atmosphere...OUTSTANDING paint jobs. They bring up images of the Catacombs beneath Paris or a supply room at G.W.. GREAT WORK!
-
Those are fantastic! The skulls certainly add a sinister look to the room, someone's been busy taking heads for a long time . . . :o
-
"I was wrong...these...are not men."
-best film ever...
-
Those look awesome Iain! Excellent work as always. :-* :-* :-*
-
Ooh, those are pretty useful pieces of kit ;D
-
very nice! Great skull piles
-
Cheers! I originally sculpted 25 skulls. From them I made a huge mold so I could mass cast in resin. Think I was getting around 250 per casting but airbubbles were a problem. Still got lots of useable skulls though. May get them cast in metal at some point.
Pic of the original skulls.
-
Pic of how the skulls come out when cast. I'll be making the skull piles available for anyone interested also the individual skulls on mass if the demand is there.
-
Interested!
-
Ooh, lovely kit. :-* Right up my alley (or, rather, dungeon...)! I'd be interested as well.
Some wall or corner stacks would be really useful indeed.
-
Disturbing o_o, my first thought was 'How nice! :-*'. ;D
-
As usual I'm interested in your casts! I'll gladly buy several skull piles from you. Your casts are always superb and at great value 8)
-
Definite interest, especially if there loose bones or loose remain piles are also available.
-
Thanks for the comments! Fram I did make a small mould with bones and ribcases etc so I could produce the larger pieces. I've attached a pic to show how they come out. Rather like the skulls they are on a thin film of resin and need to be trimmed before use. Would these be useful?
-
Would these be useful?
Can I get a "Hell yeah!"?

What he said... ;)

Cool. Will get this sorted asap!
-
I would like to show my interest.....

Truly a great work of sculpture and painting here !!!!
The modified zombie of HeroQuest is very nice.
Great dungeon atmosphere.

I'd say so!
-
Yup, I could use a bunch of plain skulls and bones (the bag'o'skulls I bought from... Black Cat?... contains a lot of skulls with eyes and/or a variety of gooey leftovers instead of bare bone).
-
Most useful indeed!
-
Please and thank you... Must have gribblies. :-*
-
How would people feel if I cast up batches of skulls, weeded out those with air bubbles and them made up bags of 100 at random from the good ones . There are 25 different skulls but I couldn't guarantee what each pack would contain.
-
I wouldn't even mind air bubbles, fill in with a bit of GS or Milliput or sand down on that side. Heck, I'd take a bag of seconds just for scatter :) But bags of 100 sound great :)
-
Yup... I'd totally go for say a set up like a bag of skulls, a bag of ribcages and long bones. I wouldn't mind air bubbles either, they could serve as damaged/broken bones. Perhaps do bags of "factory seconds" with a mix of skulls and long bones to get the miscasts off your hands?
-
Personally, I'd be interested in the skull piles. So many uses for them for gaming. I already have zillions of separate skulls, but no piles. And no, don't fancy making them myself ;)
-
I'm amazed you sculpted 25 different skulls! I would definitely be interested in a bag (or two) and possibly also some piles of bones.
-
Test casting large amounts of the skulls and its going well. Will probably sift through them for rejects since I don't really like sending out casts with large airbubbles although some may slip through.
I sculptured the 25 for some decent variation. They are slightly different sizes but could all pass for human. No obvious orc or troll skulls. Here's a pic of the greens.
-
I'm with Gunbird and Modhail. Just need an idea of cost + postage.
-
Me too!
-
I could also find uses for a few sets and the piles (especially if you can do a smaller corner pile).
Just need to know costs and shipping price (to Europe)
-
It'll be a short while before I get the bones set and the wall/corner piles into production. ( But next week sometime all being well). The large, medium and small skull piles from the initial pictures are available along with packs of 100 skulls. ( casting went well today.)
Price wise I'm thinking £3 for the large skull pile, £1.20 for the medium and £1.20 for 3x small piles. For 100 skulls 8.99. How do these sound?
cheers
Iain
-
Definitely interested... Love the painted examples.
Will you ship to USA?
What about the misc bone pieces, will you sell those as well? I need lots of scatter for catacombs and caverns... :-)
-
Still interested! :)
EDIT:
Oh, and should you at a later point decide on doing other races' skulls and bones, I'd be very interested, too!!
-
Yes, see if you can get some shipping ideas. Canada/USA would be good to know.
-
The prices sound good to me :)
-
Will you ship to USA?
Definitely. Shipping to US and Europe would come in around 3.99GBP. Less in the UK. Just skulls in the UK could go large letter class which would be around £1 postage.
-
I have this feeling Modhail and me are going to share an order for skulls :P
-

Odd, I have a similar feeling.... :D
Oh, and I have to echo Pacarat on the long bones and ribcages, would you sell sets of those too?
-
Yeah sure. I'll post a pic later of the contents of the current bones mould.
-
Here's a pic of the bones set. It would come on a sheet of resin and the bits are then trimmed off as needed. So currently ready are the 3 bone piles, skulls in bags of a 100, and the bones set. Send a PM if interested. Thanks!
-
Niccce...

So how much for what you just listed plus shipping to the USA?
-
Wow those are great. I'd be keen on some if you dont mind shipping to NZ.
-
Blackstone,
I Cans ay i dont think i would mind air bubbles. Especially if it means you wanna throw some extra in to get rid of em at a good price. :-)
I for one could use some bags of bone goodies once you get things sorted.
US shipping here as well.

-

I'll ship worldwide!
I Cans ay i dont think i would mind air bubbles.
So I had been hand sorting through all the skulls and removing those with airbubbles then packing them by weight. 7g worked out over 110 skulls. Trouble was it was too much handling having to check every skull. Each pack is now 10g which should mean at least 100 good skulls with any airbubbled as "extras".
-
Those look awesome Iain! Count me in for a bunch of everything! :D
-
They all look great and the bags of skulls would be really handy. Might get some when I can.
-
Have some pics of the masters for the wall/corner pieces along with a smaller skull pile option. I've put all these in an ebay listing which hopefully has all the options working with the correct postage etc. Ebay listing here. (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/28mm-skull-piles-resin-dungeon-scenery-d-amp-d-/161641372635?) Cheers!
-
They are really nice... in a grim sort of way :D
-
Iain, did you receive my last PM, concerning shipping?
-
Sorry missed that but replied now. Cheers :)
-
received my skulls today .they're excellent!
-
They are really nice... in a grim sort of way :D
Took the words right out of my mouth. lol
-
Reminds me, I have to order some for myself and my gaming buddy - have been awfully pre-occupied last couple of days...
-
OK, I wanted to order, but the postage adds up to way too much, as there's no option offered for combined postage. :(
-
Ah this is a problem with the ebay cart that I can't resolve atm. People usually message me for the combined total postage or I refund any overpayment. Postage wouldn't be more than 3 for the UK or 3.99 worldwide. Or pm me.
Cheers
Iain
-
The box with my skull piles arrived today and as usual the casts are *superb*. Really, really good stuff. The piles look fantastic. Thanks again Iain!!
-
Got you r message - I'll be ordering one of the next days when I'm off work.
-
I managed to make the time to paint up the smaller "medium" skull piles and the corner pieces.
(http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii125/_koboldmage_/28mm%20medium%20skull%20piles%202_zps0yw0vvx8.jpg)
The corner and wall set. Three corner pieces and two wall sections.

Nice, I even have that old Ral Partha troll somewhere lol
Been too preoccupied with other stuff this Easter week, and am in the middle of my 5-nightwatches-in-a-row, but next week I should be on to this...
-
Did anyone play the old PC game Myth? These remind me of the Myrkridia beasts that used to make ziggurats out of skulls. That's a good thing.
-
I have the no-"combined postage"-Problem too.
Shall i just order on Ebay and you figure it out, or is it necessary to send you a PM?
-
Sorry about that. Very annoying as I can't figure out how to solve the problem. I'm going to remove the ebay multi-listing and re-list the items individually. That way I should be able to get the postage to combine.
Cheers
Iain

Hi there,
Are these sets still available? I've had them on "watched" for a while on eBay, but when I went to get them (payday) - they had gone.... Sob.
I'm after pretty much one of every set you do (small, medium, large, corner sets - both skulls and bones/ debris sets)
-
Sorry, no need to reply to the post above, just found your site at toad King castings, order made! ;)
Shame I missed your Kickstarter, but glad you've not dissapeared... Toad order will follow in a month or two.
