Reaper also does a few gorillas, including a rather large "carnivorous" one, a gorilla-man, and an extra large gorilla. And Bob Murch's Pulp Figures has some "killer apes", which look like the kind of "gorillas" you might see in old B movies.<br />I'm on the lookout for a good African elephant or two (25-28mm scale). I tend to prefer metal if I can get it, but I should learn to go with plastic, too, if need be.Fitz-Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510866929782142007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333873482292140078.post-13924029888210957452011-11-28T08:27:28.364-06:002011-11-28T08:27:28.364-06:00Thanks for the interest in the reports.

The convention was a blast and I am looking forward to next year's.<br /><br />Buguvula does sound like an African village or region name.<br /><br />Actually the animals are a mix of plastic and metal. The croc, hippo, and elephants are plastic, but the hyenas (and others I have) are metal. I now have a good variety of African wildlife but still lack a good gorilla and some "in scale" large snakes.<br /><br />JimColCampbell50https://www.blogger.com/profile/15910423749022189030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333873482292140078.post-65395936408898293292011-11-26T14:59:22.144-06:002011-11-26T14:59:22.144-06:00That looked like a lot of fun.

It reminds me of the picture in Osprey on the Byzantine Army, with its casket depicting in bas-relief a lion hunt. The wear on the surface gave the poor lion - two arrows already sticking into him - such an sorrowful expression of 'what did I ever do to you?' that I don't know - One feels that it just wasn't sporting, somehow. Yeah, I know: I'm a boring old ... spoilsport... :(<br /><br />Now, getting in amongst the slavers: way to go!! :D<br />Cheers,<br />IonArchduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333873482292140078.post-65216788290955301712011-11-26T14:48:45.476-06:002011-11-26T14:48:45.476-06:00Sounds like it was all great fun.

Sounds like a native village =)A Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834159033854153921noreply@blogger.com
