If so, I'd sure love to see how you did the interior of that camp, specially the laboratory. I'm looking for examples of something resembling the jungle buildings in The Island of Dr. Moreau (1977) or Island of Lost Souls (1932). QUESTION
Would Devil's Island (French Guyana) be a good example of the colors of old concrete buildings (stucco?) that is exposed to the elements of the jungle/tropics?

I'm thinking that most buildings in the compound would be of wood but the lab and holding cells would be more solidly built. Make sense? Thanks Dan

Check out "The Most Dangerous Game" from the 30's too, a tropical island where the most interesting hunts are held. |

Capncarp: Those sets were from the earlier "King Kong". |

I bet this would be fun to make. link

PS. Hmm, maybe there's even a canal for a sub: :)

I deny ever doing so, especially not in Costa Rica . . . |

Musket Miniatures used to make a set of Rorke's Drift building in 15mm. These are large buildings with lift-off thatch roofs, interiors, etc. I have them and use them for my jungle outpost/lab for VSF, Africa, and Pulp games. Sadly they are OOP. For laboratory equipment I use the pieces from the Blue Moon Frankenstein and Mr. Hyde sets. It would be cool to scratch build a desolate walled hacienda with vines and roots climbing over the walls. |

Rvandusen That's exactly the kind of building I want to make! And I want the building to look like it's at least 50 years old before the mad scientist moves into the compound in the 1920s or 30s. By the way, I just googled abandoned jungle hacienda and there are tons of photos out there for inspiration. Dan
EDIT -
I just had another look at those Blue Moon pieces, I think I'm going to have to buy them. They look excellent!

A rack of test-tubes would be very easy to knock out. Lengths of acrylic rod cut to size. |

Dan…..That pic of the sub with two modern soldiers on the deck requires some explanation. Is it from a movie or what? |

Oops. I meant to add a link. That is a drug smuggler submarine. link

Thank you, Dan. In my wildest ravings I never would have come up with that one! |

I wonder if this Devil's Island (Ile Saint-Joseph, Bagne de Cayenne) setup, with the overhead walkway, could work for the holding cells of the Doctor Moreau's "patients". Dan
