Bit Steampunk/Pulp but not that bad a read. My girls want to game the entire series one day.

Pulp Figures.

The statues look fine if your game is set in a Trader Vic's. As for the actual South Pacific, well, I'm not so sure...  :)

ALL Bow Before THE Volcano Queen, or face the Wrath of Mambulo!!



OOooops!!  Wrong Volcano Queen!!  Sorry Mister Murch!!

Bob's magnificent sculpt is THE standard by which I judge females in 28mm, crisp, classy, coy & alluring, she's ACES!!
I'm still trying to paint her as she deserves, I may hafta hire it done, given the vast depths of my inability.


THIS picture:


compelled me to track down &  acquire:







Thank you Wally Harwood!! http://www.harwoodhobbies.com/
You get 33 perfectly sized tiki pegs, 11 each of three different styles & faces, plot points & scenery galore!
I'm not sure if the Big Kahuna: Lost Tiki Solitaire Set is still in print though, check the usual suspects.

Then there is this GEM, from Victoria Lamb, beautifully executed by orctrader, for the current Colonial Painting Expedition:



I shall now retire to the veranda for another Mai Tai

Thank you! I haven't looked at Pulp Figures much due to the US postage/UK import tax.

Edit: ah, I should have realised the Prof had them!

Speaking of the trader, a search for tiki shot glasses yields, well, hundreds of them

Haven't got all, but most. Let's say it's a major plot point at the moment to achieve full status. Get em while, and as soon as you can I say. The minis that are no longer around fetch astronomical prices these days.  ;)

Those totems and shot glasses are very very tempting.  :-*
