LOST COLOSSUS

About the Project
I have decided to tackle a terrain project based on the Frostgrave spin off Ghost Archipelago. The lost colossus supplement contains a number of scenarios which involve war bands seeking out the shattered parts of a giant statue. They fight over the leg and the hand etc. I wondered how to deal with that before looking around work for body parts. I work in a museum that has some old mannequins in storage as they are no longer in fashion for exhibits. All I could find was a hand so got in touch with a nearby visitor attraction who were very helpful after telling me they had a cellar full of body parts. I helped myself to a female dummy and hacked it up. I have started with the head and after being inspired by the games art work I had it chopped in half and decorated it with geenstuff and bits of card. I remembered to take her eyelashes off first.

Critters
I think some of these guys might be old warhammer minis but I don't remember. I've rebased them and need to pick up some other minis for the encounter lists Walls
Continuing to cut into polystyrene packaging to create some walls. The holes I cut out I used those pieces as mini scatter. Once it's painted and flocked it works because it's a ruin
New pile to work through
North star had a sale on for GA with most minis available for a pound each. I spent alit and snapped the bargains up. Although I did think maybe this is the game in the grave series that's been given up on. We haven't had a new book for some time and the miniatures range fizzled out with not much done from the last book. It's my favourite from the graves games and it has everything I loje. Lost world dinosaurs, sinbad style adventures in the tropics. 
I started on the rank and file of the Drichean warriors from the bronze age style kingdoms. I might look at ancient historical minis to add to them. 
Stone towers
Using some polystyrene packaging I got to work with a wire cutter. The aim was to make two stone plinths on top of which will be a statue that of course will come to life. Because they are ancient I don't have to be to precious 
Cursed totems
I picked these up from iron gate miniatures who do some nice little scenery pieces for fantasy games. I was going to make my own totems but these were so cheap I saved myself the hassle Ruined road
Busy day today working on a couple of projects using spare bits I have left over from other builds A ruined jungle road appears in a scenario in one of the archipelago supplements so I carved some pieces.
