I love it all.
This is definitely one of the best threads in the history of LAF.
Great terrain, figures and ideas.

Some more progress shots.



The matakishi kitten really looks good behind bars, it's like it's saying: "Well, this sucks..."

To the right you can see a failed attempt at making birdcage. The method is sound but I made the bars too short.

Loving the snake crate. At first I thought the failed cage was some freaky sci-fi spider!

Re: Chicken Race on the Arumbaya - Mummy Appeal

Have you seen Outpost's rather good Inca mummy:





Very cheap From http://www.outpostwargameservices.co.uk/index.htm

 :)


If anyone is making an order to the Outpost Wargaming Service, would you mind terribly much ordering that mummy for me to and send it to me? They have a minimum £5 order limit and they have absolutely dick else to offer me other than the mummy and I'll be damned before I spend 5 quid + P&P for just that.

Pedr,

I found an urubu. Poking around some oddments at Eureka miniatures this morning and came across one. It has a little hole under neath to place a flight stand. Very nice piece that might compliment your project.
 Apols for the photo.

all so excellent....
the GW giant has a lot of stuff to hang on him, inbetween a large cage that might simplify Your life if You get some from bits brokers.

Lovely, although a perching specimen had been just the thing. I may still order it. Eureka carries the most wonderful and idiosyncratic things in their catalogue.

You know, that's not a crap idea, former user... The supply on bits brokers tends to be erratic so it may not be all that simple to get hold of, unfortunately. On a side note, that plastic Giant set holds a vast supply of useful items. I have several other bits from that kit. The new lizardmen releases seems to include a lot of little plastic jungle embelishment which would be perfect for this project: snakes frogs lizards...
