A strange and distant land (my pulp terrain) Now with 70% more monsters

[BugPope]

Found a matching statuette on ebay (for about thrice the cost I paid for the larger one, including shipping...), so now I'm making a lil' buddy to my jungle idol.
Wooden souvenir, painted with several layers of acrylic paint mixed with very fine sand.

There wasn't enough trees in my jungle, so I made some fallen logs. Got a bit carried away with the foliage, but I'm happy with them.

Got a lot of painting done today. Like this mysterious woman. Who is she? What is her agenda? Why is she smoking a cigar in Siberia? How many adorable animals did it take to make that outfit? Very mysterious.
Model by Copplestone Castings.

Excellent! Really like your statues. Great work.

Some top notch re-purposing of every day items. Wargamers are the best re-cyclers going. Great looking table being built here. I look forward to some good Game reports.

Another WIP. Trying to come up with a good name for him, something suitably macho and pulpy. Duncan Muldoon or Steelfinger Chuck or something.

New batch of adventurers, a mix of Copplestone and Foundry, with a Ral Partha dinosaur lurking in the background.  Still haven't come up with names for all of them.

Finally got work done on some scratch built jungle huts I started on ages ago.

Really love those huts.

Fourth hut ready. Number five and six are on their way. I can't stop making these, it's an addiction.

Also I have a couple of big packages that will arrive within the week, filled with something a little extra. Stay tuned for big stuff.

I really like those huts! Well done!

Wacky, weird, and wonderful!

Thanks, everyone. After doing terrain for historic 15mm games for many years, it feels great to just let my imagination go wild with Pulp terrain, where realism isn't as important.

Unpacked the first package: a bunch of (relatively) cheap ghouls and golems from Otherworld Miniatures (their niche is old school DnD stuff with great sculpts and kinda ridiculously high prices. Still more reasonably priced than GW, though). Sometimes Internet auctions pay off.
There's also some more small animated statues, zombies, ghouls and a clay golem that hasn't been based yet.
The second package should arrive tomorrow.
One thing I'm pondering now is how to show off the ghouls, since they're anatomically correct and have little dangly parts. But I've painted a 15mm Celtic army, so those aren't anything new.

A perilous encounter with an ancient Atlantean war construct! Even after millenia of wear and tear, these are still formidable opponents.

Spent the evening painting up one of the Otherworld golems. It was a fun exercise in painting bronze, involving three different shades of bronze paint and a verdigris effect. I have mixed feelings about the result: the verdigris turned out very realistic, and it looks as ancient as I wanted, but it also removed most of the shadows and highlights, and make it look kinda flat. Any tips on how to make it "pop" again?

Also working on a stone golem with a nice Sumerian theme.

In Japanese folklore, the komainu guards temples, roads and other important places from evil spirits. They are fierce and fearsome creatures, but also selfless protectors of mankind.

The first model from a box of Japanese mythology and history themed Kensei models I received from my older brother Jonas (who taught me how to paint over twenty years ago, and now does 6mm scale Japanese buildings at  http://www.muraminiatures.com. Figure I owe him a plug). Tried a lot of new techniques that I don't normally use, such as fire, but I'm content with how it turned out.
