My Second Ghost Archipelago Terrain Piece: Snakewoman Idol (Updated 3.13.17)

Awsome idea! I love found object terrain conversions!

[Cool Dad]

Very clever,

I think you win the award for "most creative use of a mermaid tail in a tabletop game" If I hadn't seen where the arche came from I would never guess in a million years that it was made from a cheap plastic mermaid. Well done.

[CPalmer]

Thank you all for the continued comments! 

Jambo- I humbly accept my award, and hope to remain undefeated in my catagory! 

[Peithetairos]

Agreed, very creative use of a plastic toy. Solid 7/7

[The Voivod]

Awesome, I love it when you see something and it just clicks: project.

Ghost achipello is really on my list. It really creates some lovely warband potential.

Thank you folks for the further kind remarks!

I started work on the leftover mermaid torsos this week, so stay tuned for photos of their G. A. Terrain transformation in the next week or two!

Wow ! Inspired idea!

[CPalmer]

Thank you, dartfrog!

That is pure genius!

So, this past weekend I finished up my second GA terrain piece. After completing the mermaid tail arch  last month (shown at the beginning of this thread), a lot of folks asked what I planned to do with the left over mermaid top-halves.  I considered this as something of a challenge, and so set about thinking about possible terrain projects to make from partially naked plastic doll halves.
   Inspired by the cover of the Ghost Archipelago cover, featuring a band of heroes facing off against a band of snakemen natives, I got the idea to make one of the doll halves into some sort of snake-man goddess idol.
    The first thing I needed to find was a suitable snakeman head, so I made another trip to the local Dollar Tree to see what I could find.  I wasn't able to find a plastic snake I could use, but I did find a suitable plastic lizard that had just the right head and neck pose to go atop a human torso. 
   Here is the final result.  For the full step-by-step build article, please see my blog: http://onemoregamingproject.blogspot.com/2017/03/dollar-tree-mermaid-ghost-archipelago.html

Yep, great stuff! (Though now you'll have to do a terrain piece with a lizard's body and doll's head)

Thanks, RMZ!

Thanks, jp!  Yes, I am tempted to try to find a use for the headless lizard body.  Though I think putting the second doll's head on it might be too strange even for me! 

That looks great.  Reallt creative idea well executed.

Thanks, pgmason!
