Daftest Africa - African Villagers

[has.been]

Great backdrop to a scenario based game. Well done.

Well, bling-a-ding-ring!  Very nice.  I actually like the open book on the table, a bit different - though clearly blank pages for the archaeologist to record notes in.  Or, if a found book, has some magic spell started causing the images on the pages to dissolve into thin air?  Could be - and could be very sinister! 

In helping sort a MASSIVE collection of figures from a deceased local collector, not gamer - none of us knew him, I ran across some female archaeologists from I think Copplestone.  Do you have any of those in your collection yet?  Or have we seen them and I've forgotten?  Just did a 'drive-by' google check and, yes, Copplestone - and apparently ones in resin by others, too. [Vast majority of collection is either Napoleonic figures - or 100+ Britain boxes, many in mint condition.]. Some other females from Brigade games on those funky slotta-bases, who also have female archaeologists apparently, smaller though.  [By massive, boxes by the score, probably more than one hundred boxes.  Overwhelming to be certain.]

edit: Brigade Games seem to have the Copplestone so same female archaeologists.

Sorry, but all the Pulp figures in the collection are already spoken for.

Thanks for adding to this delightful thread, Digits.  Hmm, if there is ever a Pinned page of the 'best of the best' threads of Pulp, this should be at the top of that list.  Not just cool stuff, but some nice, helpful how-to's mixed in.

EDIT MAJOR
I think I have a - brontosaurus sized - bone to pick with Digits.  When are we going to see that long "promised" waterfall!?  Hopefully before the five year anniversary of the start of this thread.  Harrumph!

Hmmm…yes it is on my list of things to research and have a go at for sure….but asking me to put a timescale on it?   You are clearly mixing me up with someone with a structured life!    😉

Thanks all, glad you like the recent meagre offering.   I will try to do better!

[Capt Troy Tempest]

Now you’ve gone and done it.
Mention bones and dinosaurs.
What do archaeologists love digging up. 🦕 🦖
Dig site terrain.

[Digits]

Archaeologists?  Surely you mean palaeontologists no?

To be fair there are some great kids dino skeletal heads etc that would make a great model set back in plaster at a dig site though ….go for it!

[FifteensAway]

Copplestone have a little paleontologist and bones set - that might, at some point, work its ways into Digits hands - and then in a decade or three we might see ready for the table! 

[Digits]

Err…I think that may have been Troy there wanting to do a dino dig fella?

And I resemble your remarks sir!

[FifteensAway]

I understand it was Troy, I was pointing out for his benefit and - maybe - suggesting you add it to yours as well.  Perhaps in that beautiful dig site model of yours, the Archies find something unexpected?  And maybe the smell of incredibly ancient bone attract a not so ancient dino.  There is that first photo in the thread...

And, if you have enough of the right sort of Archaeologists you can name them Archie, Jughead, Reggie, Betty, Veronica, and Kevin.  And the dinosaur, well, Marmaduke, of course.

You are clearly mixing me up with someone with a structured life!    😉

Well, it isn't me. Actually, it's comforting to know I'm not alone...

[Capt Troy Tempest]

Not me, seeing if could half butterfly you again.
I can’t do anything new until moved house.
35 years of lots of wargaming to go. Down sizing 3 bedroom and loft, to 2 bedroom no loft space 😭.

[Digits]

Ha…swerved!

A little more bling.







And don’t leave your ladder unattended ……

[Capt Troy Tempest]

Mummy would you mind footing the ladder for me whilst I climb.
Very nice bling. Where did chest with cat on top come from?

[Digits]

Same place as the other bling…Crocodile games.  Nice stuff in white metal.   There are some great looking printed minis about too however…

[FifteensAway]

Very cool stuff.  Though either the local preservationists are incredibly good at hiding the glue cracks or the artifacts are found in tact making them national treasures for Egypt so good luck getting them out of country - and alive!? 

[snitcythedog]

Now that hits the spot.  Very nice and convincing bling even when photographed close up.
