Dayaks fought each other in intertribal conflicts and also pestered the shiplanes around Borneo.
For more background info google Raja Brooke - the White Raja of Sarawak.

Also it struck me while watching King Kong (Peter Jackson vers) last night on telly, that the natives of Skull Island could be represented by Dayak figures.....now if only Scheltrum would make a giant ape...

Well I finally finished this up.  Here is a view of the finished base before I glued the house in.

Here is a picture of the finished long house.

The stone mortar was molded of spackle and the pounder was carved out of a dowel.  The notched log ladders were carved out of chopsticks.
Got to kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight.

Sweet! A real stonker. I have wanted to wargame in a Dayak setting ever since I read the Nutmeg of Consolation.

Brilliant Lon, I love this scratch built stuff, the mortar and pestle is an excellent touch   :-*

Now slap some paint on the Dayaks, they have adventurers to eat and time's a'wasting  8)

Yep, nice work Lon. Like the Bugs said - get painting the Dayaks as it looks a little abandoned just now

Thanks Chris,
Since this will be used in my 190? (nod to Ignatief) Pulp campaign I wanted to show some intrepid explorers, risking life and errr... heads, on location.  Just to clarify too, Hammers these beautiful minis are Bugsda masterworks.  I'm more of a terrain geek than a figure painter, though I have really improved thanks to LAF and some pointers from Orctrader.
