just some of my friends from skull island! I finished painting them this week and just need to create a home for them. Four tiki type huts and a few rafts! I want to make a proper skull type mini mountain!

Very cool! Thanks for the inspiration.

Not sure if you've seen these, but here are some figures that seem based on the remake Skull Island natives.  Doubtful that they'd incorporate thematically with the 33-style ones, but you never know.

Check out THE CROGAN ADVENTURES, a historical adventure graphic novel series available from your local bookstore or comic shop (or, of course, Amazon).  I make 'em.

Very very nice. Hope to finalise your "Tiki-Scull island" project very soon. I will anxiously wait for the photos!

Those BG miniatures are very nice, but I think that Pulp Figures melanesians are superb!

yeah they are copplestones. Very nice models yet i did find that some of the moulding on the hands could have been cast better? Perhaps I got a slightly dodgy batch?

They are ngoni tribesmen. Painted up very well. They are in no way historically acurate but make for great fun as another force to fight my friends pirates!

I found a local store recently that sells polystyrene skulls for only a couple of pounds!! I am going to grab a couple

Sounds interesting... They can't be too expensive to post, either...?   ;)
