28mm Skull piles
« on: March 10, 2015, 09:45:01 AM »
Pics of some resin skull piles I've finished recently. Wondering if some piles with a flat edge for fitting up against walls would be useful? Or maybe a skull pit?

They do add to the sinister dungeon atmosphere...OUTSTANDING paint jobs. They bring up images of the Catacombs beneath Paris or a supply room at G.W.. GREAT WORK!

Those are fantastic!  The skulls certainly add a sinister look to the room, someone's been busy taking heads for a long time . . .  :o

Cheers! I originally sculpted 25 skulls. From them I made a huge mold so I could mass cast in resin.  Think I was getting around 250 per casting but airbubbles were a problem. Still got lots of useable skulls though. May get them cast in metal at some point.

Pic of the original skulls.

Pic of how the skulls come out when cast.  I'll be making the skull piles available for anyone interested also the individual skulls on mass if the demand is there.

Ooh, lovely kit.  :-* Right up my alley (or, rather, dungeon...)! I'd be interested as well.

Some wall or corner stacks would be really useful indeed.

As usual I'm interested in your casts! I'll gladly buy several skull piles from you. Your casts are always superb and at great value 8)

Definite interest, especially if there loose bones or loose remain piles are also available.

Thanks for the comments! Fram I did make a small mould with bones and ribcases etc so I could produce the larger pieces. I've attached a pic to show how they come out. Rather like the skulls they are on a thin film of resin and need to be trimmed before use. Would these be useful?
