Hi, Friendly Mini enthusiasts, About 20 years ago or so, a fine company cast up resin Easter Island Heads, both undamaged, and knocked-down and broken up. I have those castings and am ready to paint them, having returned yesterday from a visit to Easter Island. Memory says they also offered resin-cast sculptures shaped like the heads, but designed to look like they were made from scrap metal, panels, rivets, etc. I would love to be able to purchase those scrap metal versions, as I have an Eeeevil idea for a tabletop game. Can anyone remember who cast them up? Are they perhaps still available? And if not, do you have them mouldering in your 'never get around to it" box, possibly ready to sell or trade to me? Please advise. Chick

I remember those. I thought they were by Ainsty Castings, but I can't find the heads there now.

Dang, now I need the heads! Always said if won the lottery I would build one in the front yard. The gaming table will have to do until then.

De nada.
