Tasty Tropical Treats

I sat down this afternoon to create a handful of coconuts for some commissioned Robinson Crusoe: Adventure on the cursed Island Food token sets, only to find that I had completely forgotten to restock my store of white polymer clay.

Oh no! Will our castaways have to go hungry this eve?
It appears not; Intrepid hunter-gatherer Reginald has returned from a day's foraging, arms piled with delicious ripe mangoes.
Hurrah for Reginald!

These will make a great sorbet.

Colourful ...and scrumptious.

I'm afraid it'll be back up those coconut palms tomorrow Reginald. No rest for the wicked.

These mangoes will be included as part of the fruit selection in my current food token packs.

A Damsel in Distress!

Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island ...is certainly the board game that 'never stops giving' when it comes to providing components ripe for pimpage.

Here are my latest hand-crafted polymer clay additions; the four Totem Tile locations for the Jenny Needs Help! scenario.

These four were a fabulously fun bunch to create, more than a little fiddly though ~ I must admit...

A pretty tragic looking set of locales.

A shot from above - viewed from the balloon before it's plummeting descent. 

The 'Slippery Rocks'...

One wrong step...

...could lead to a...

...nasty twisted ankle.

The 'Balloon Wreck'...

Around the world in 80 days?

Unfortunately not the case here.

The 'Cemetery'...

"They're coming to get you Barbara".

OK ...there are no zombies here. But it's a little unsettling nevertheless.

The 'Remains of Masts and Spars'...

It's a shame this wood's so waterlogged.

Oh well; at least the rope might come in handy.

The last remains of our ill-fated vessel...

...smashed upon the rocks.

I'm forever forgetting to show the actual size of these sculpts; this time though, I have remembered, and got them displayed upon the palm of my hand...

Do I have petite ...or gargantuan hands though?
Aaaaah ... foiled again! :(

As always ... if you are keen to view more of my creations for Robinson Crusoe, you can check them out here.

Happy gaming!

Dry as a Bone

I'm slowly working my way through the different Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island pieces. This time we have Wasteland markers for Robinson Family scenario.

I haven't had a chance to play this scenario yet, but it looks like the family will be having a hard time of it ~ At least they won't have to contend with any of those nasty cannibals, on that neighbouring island ;)

A dry and desolate place.

Well, at least there's something for the dog to chew on.

Fresh rain brings on new growth.

I took a few more shots ...but my focus was pretty shocking. I may take a few more pics when I give the scenario a run for it's money.

As per usual ... if you're keen to see more of my Robinson Crusoe pimpage ~ you can view them here.

A Storm's a Comin'

Taking a bit of a break from my usual wranglings to throw a splash of paint at some greenskin archers.

Just need a dose of varnish.

Strolling through French fields. 

High five!

2-stroke shields.

They're for an avid tabletop war-gaming mate who unfortunately couldn't make it down the island this weekend.
It appears he's a touch apprehensive regarding a certain encroaching patch of inclement weather ... and likely with good reason. Cyclone Pam (who was rather cruel to the unfortunate people of Vanuatu) is but a few hours north of us and coming our way.
Here's where she's sitting as I write this...

Lets hope the chap who put our house together knew what he was doing!

Well, time to batten down the hatches ~ fingers crossed I will post again soon ...gulp.

Food, Glorious Food!

I've Been hard at work creating some fresh snacks for my Robinson Crusoe: AotCI castaways.

Non-perishable food tokens now include the newly designed loaves, smoked fish and delicious cheese.

Fresh food tokens will contain fish, bananas, meat steaks and the new 'avian' drumstick; as well as the good ol' coconuts (newly sculpted coconuts still to be harvested).

A feast fit for a castaway king!

Why the dodo became extinct...

Who doesn't like the aroma of bread fresh out of the oven.

Smoked fish fillets ...nom nom nom.

Watch those pesky mice don't get it first.

Fire up the barbie, cobber!

A good source of potassium.

Bags not scaling this lot.

Feel free to check out my other sculpts for Robinson Crusoe: AotCI here.

Also, if you're interested in acquiring any of these delectable and lovingly hand-crafted morsels, just pm me your email and I'll be happy to flick you the details.

Only the foolish visit the Land of the Cannibals

After a rather lengthy Summer school holidays spent wrangling the young'uns, followed by about a month of being under the weather with some nasty bug ~ which I must say has still got the remnants of it's claws in me; I have managed to get a few more items created for my Robinson Crusoe: AotCI set.

Four Cannibal Villages and the Cannibal City have sprung up; all ready to house a plethora of esurient  natives with a penchant for tasty castaway morsels.

Almost looks like a tropical resort ....almost.

Every cannibal dwelling needs a water feature.

Ahh... the soothing sound of falling water.

Fresh herbs growing out the back ...for that bouquet garni.

Hmmm ...what's for breakfast?

Sooo tranquil...

Have you tried the salt'n'pepper back rub?

Bleached bones ...tourists LOVE bleached bones.

A couple of quick sketches before the main sculpt.

See more pieces I've made for my Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island board game here.

Christmas Castaways

A small selection of pieces from my latest commission. This one off to a chap in Spain ~ His fingers are crossed (and so are mine) it arrives in time for some Christmas Crusoe capers ;)

El campamento (con fuego), Turn marcador ... y Fur Shelter.

I'm also forever meaning to put size comparisons in with my pics; so here are a few sculpts from my own set and a few from the above commission ~ with an AA battery lurking amongst them...

Hmmm... I wonder what other game has been sucking

away my spare (and not-so-spare) time of late ;p

Oh, and apologies to those who have expressed interest in me putting up a polymer clay tutorial ... My bad, I still haven't got my A into G ~ but I promise ...soon. -_o

As usual ...feel free to check out more of my work for Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island here.
