The Portal: Colonial...New Guinea

[DonVoss]

Dear gents. Here is some more stuff for my big project: getting for all the boards of LAF something painted from my lead pile.

If you want to find out more about about the idea...have a look here.

This time the time travalling takes us to the remote island of New Guinea.
The scenario will depict a small tribal warband of asaro mud men priobably not mentioned in any osprey...




And a little close up.





A pic of some typical mud men.
They a have very intristing myth why they cover their body with mud and wearing big ugly masks...





And here are my greenstuff conversions...




The basis are some Copplestone tupis and 2 Darkest Africa minis from Foundry.
In a second step I added some more belly....


Okay, and here are the mud chaps painted.






And anyone intrested in more information: here is a great site.

Very original work, quite the surprise for unprepared explorers.

Oh yes, very tales of the golden monkey, you could put a check mark in front of the pulp board as well now. 

[Deedles]

Very nice

Another great Portal.
Love it.

Amazing execution!

They truly look great !

Bob Murch has a set of Mudmen mostly sculpted, but has never finished or released them.  Perhaps if enough people 'nudge' him he would do so. 

Yours will be hard to surpass, however.

Nicely done sir!

[DonVoss]

Thank you very much, gents....

I didn't know that....

I had a few of the pulp minis from Bob painted up. And I really like his stuff...
