I came a bit late to this post, but it's a real pleasure to look back and see all the gaming eye-candy you've made. It makes me want to get out my own jungle set-up again.  :)

Don't paint the waspish colors and you have a proper Mosquito.  Go for it!  A dozen ought to do the trick.

Good find.  Must have been a uk distributor though as I definitely bought it here at a show.

Thanks for the link fella.

Remember the Dino. First time Sheffield triples at sports arena. Money in pocket burning a hole. Only taken about 10 years to find a use for it. Looking good. 👍

Slow burner but will try....

Ok, so I received my crooked dice Gorillas in the post today.

Along with the unfinished Eureka Chimpanzees these are the best ape models I’ve seen.

The big brute, not quite Kong but going to be a fearsome opponent  for the hapless adventures me thinks,  I need to base these but will look to paint them up over the next few days I hope.

Those will be nice additions!

For my 15 mm stuff, I've got baboons (3 poses, 3D printed by a friend for me - no idea of source), HO chimpanzees that are fine models but 3rd rate for my purposes and too small but all I've been able to find (except the one that comes in the old Airfix/HATT Jungle box (Tarzan), trunk monkeys from Irregular Miniatures (monkey on a cut-off tree trunk), and gorillas from a few sources: the DDA from Bluemoon (think the movie Congo gorillas), toy shop items (Toob), and some beading items, plus Highlander Studios.  Makes for a nice collection but could be better, for sure.

Glad to see you stopping by here because a lot of us are enjoying this thread.
