I've just posted a few pictures of my two most recent units for my Sudan War project ~ the Black Watch and some Nile Arabs. {There's also my first dinosaur in the C19th Gallery for the Lost World game.}

I DON'T think that lady should be relaxing in the tub with a T-Rex and Kong hanging around!

Great site and thanks for sharing your latest update.

Thats all right - she can't be anyone noteworthy enough to save from the dinos. No respectable lady would take a bath in front of male Africans!!!

Missed the lady!
But the "ladies from hell" are great!
That's a future project for me.  Still working on my Naval brigade guys.

Sorry to butt in, but it looks to me like one of the official King Kong toys of the movie. They were made by a company called "Playmates" I believe.

I may be wrong, but it looks like one.

I bought a couple cheap on eBay when I was planning my "Mighty Joe Kong" game. But in the end I went with the Schleich gorilla because I liked the model more (even though it is much smaller, a bit too small for a 28mm Kong really).

I like him. Might get myself one. Can't have too many "Mighty Joes." Thanks.

Yeah, the Schleich one is too small for Kong, but I liked the figure so much I used it anyway. That's why I made him "Mighty Joe Kong." A cross between Kong himself and Mighty Joe Young. The game was great fun, whatever his shortcomings, size-wise.

He's like a friendly version of the Reaper Kong!  And much cheaper too!

i have one from SIMBA, the company producing several kind of animals in a package of 3 - one adult and 2 babys. Standing on his feet ! I used the adult for a 15mm game because it was the right scale, but i think it could be useful for 25/28mm. I'll post a pic as soon as it'll be possible. 8)

Excuse me for the quality of the pics. My K Kong looks more funny in photo than in real life !  :lol:

A 28mm girl from Foundry is placed for scale comparaison. In his hand you can see a 15mm girl....  :mrgreen: [/quote]
