The Coconut Revolution is on YouTube and is worth a watch.

 

Just watched this documentary and really inspired by the ingenuity of the islanders, well worth watching.

Dammit, another Akky project. And interesting too :(

I was hoping it would be something early 1700s so I wouldn't be tempted!

Dangit Matt, just what my bank account didn't need to see.  Though this isn't based of any one show/film/game I can see a Lost game coming here... right time to start putting some money aside you devil ;)

First WIP greens - unarmed civilians (by Ian Mountain).



The inhabitants of the Isle will be from all over the world, and a mix of unarmed/armed types. 29/30mm to the eye approx 32mm to the top of the head, on sports tabs rather than integral bases.

Those civilians look like they will be very handy in lots of settings.

Very nice looking civilians.  Rather useful for a lot of different modern games.

Can we expect to see something like this made for the project?

Same here. I wonder if I can get all of Akky's Dune figures done before these come out...

Quicker than 99% of Kickstarters...  ;) lol

I don't want to give you a timescale in case i cant keep to it (as good sculptors shouldn't be rushed), but Ian (and other sculptors) are working upon a whole bunch of greens for me, so the plan is to release the civvies when I've got a moulds worth to castup (to keep the costs reasonable).  The first wave of commissions are already funded so its a case of when sculptors finish greens - hopefully not too long.

Re: the vehicles - they will be ready in 2-3 weeks as I've already got the masters. The VW Camper van already has an integral driver, but I am getting crew made for the Landrover - copies of the master are already with sculptors to get this done, but again I can't give an exact date for the crew.  I will make the Landrover available when cast up, and then sell the crew separately when they are castup.

By a happy coincidence I already have a 4x4 with rollbar on the todo list.

Any chance of there being a solid roof or van version of the VW?
