I've made a start on the little blokes:

These three will be stick leaders in the RLI group.


MAG for the RLI to replace an RPK that I'm adding to a 'spare parts' PATU stick.

@ Von Lucky: Just a bit of snagging on these blokes and then I'll take some group shots of the reorganised sticks

@juergen & Earter:  :D  I couldn't resist, the base needed some detail, and as he looks like he's giving something a good rev some spent brass seemed in order. It's just little bits of brass rod chopped up with snips. I'd suggest doing this inside a bag as bits tend to fly everywhere. Weirdly it looked really odd at first so I ended up putting shiny brass paint on er.. shiny brass.

The bloke on the far right of the first pic looks like he has a bit of a long neck, small head thing going on, so may swap the head for something else. After I've painted up the others. I've broken them down into groups of eight for painting so should hopefully be able to plow through it all.

Groups so far, some of the new bases need darkening down a bit to fit in.

Cheers Earther.

Started another hut, to break up all the batches of little people, I think this one will be somewhat burnt out (as it saves having to do the thatched roof.):

Thanks. These things couldn't be simpler to make, other than the thatched roof bit which is fairly aaargh!
