Totems

[Overlord]

I recently built these totems for use in Darkest Africa/Pulp games etc.

[Will Bailie]

Looking great - I'm getting ideas just by looking at them!

[Snate56]

Those are awsome!
Are they mounted on pennies? They look kinda delicate. 
I like the rope, but don't know why they would do that... who can understand their primitive brains, anyways?
And yer gardener, there, looks wonderful, too!

Woo.
Very Skull Island...
Nice work Overlord. Love the witch doctor too...

[imurdentist]

Looking cool!
I need to steal your idea and make some of these for my pirate island!

A handful of coins, cocktail stick/bamboo skewer/balsa, thick thread & GW/Foundry skulls


Superglue lengths of stick to the coins. PVA base & add gravel & sand. Wind thread around pole & glue in position


Undercoat, basecoat, dry-brush, add skull, add static grass.

Pretty simple & quick to build. They wont take really rough handling but are robust enough in general.

Really nice!

[Ironworker]

wow!  Simple but very effective. 

[The Hooded Claw]

wow!  Simple but very effective. 

I second that! It's always great to see a nice easy project that makes such a nice statement on the table.

[bandit86]

Very nice and thanks for the tutorial.  That would make a nice little project

[argsilverson]

Very nice job!

[hhbeast]

These are great! I'll be making some for my AD&D game next month!

Is there a bulk lot of skulls/bones available anywhere for projects like this?

[Doomhippie]

I guess GW skeletons (plastic box). Can't go wrong with them...
