Excellent painting. From the physique, the guy on the top left must be a gamer. He looks official, so he is probably the GM.

They are Maori

Not enough tatoos to be Maori, methinks. Besides, where is the guy doing the Haka?

Maori, from Eureka. They will be available at Salute and on the web site shortly after that.

28mm tattoos, just don't look right. Believe me, the painter tried.

The question is would they do for Hawaiians and while I'm no expert I wouldn't think so, for one thing I believe Hawaiian leaders wore some sort of helmet covered in bright yellow feathers.

My vote goes for that they can be used for Hawaiians. (smile)

Eureka also makes Hawaiians in 15 mm (or 18 mm?) so you can look at those for comparison. I would vote against using them for Hawaiians.

Hmm, I've seen some well done tatoos in 28 mm and even in 15 mm – maybe it is an issue with photography.

And, Nic, where the ****** bleep are the 15 mm chimpanzee troops!?!?!?!? Yes, I'm jealous of the larger ones from Eureka, by jackrabbit.
