Drakkar Models has a new set of 1/35 and 1/32 skulls and bones.
Probably not everybody's like but original without any doubt.

They can add a dark note to a scene or destroyed vehicle, as sometimes seen on wartime photos.

The bullet hole in one of them is another grim detail.

This talented modeler (God rest his soul) did a phenomenal job on his homebrew skeleton, especially his nuanced solution to the ribcage: LINK

Gents, in most cases corpses don't lie out long enough to turn into skeletons. That requires all their clothes to disintegrate. Just look at this classic photo from Verdun:

You mean pelvic girdles... there is not really anything as a "hip bone" as the hip is a joint between the femur and the pelvis... (sorry, it is the Paramedic in me...). I agree about the rib cage... here is a suggestion... find one of your local use groups that may have a 3D printer and make some... let me see if I can find a resource...

Warriors makes a complete skeleton in 1/35th, #35503. I have two of them. One problem is you have to scribe out the rib cage, very delicate work but great looking when done. I plan to use one in a jungle dio where the poor fellow ended up on the bank of a river or swamp. Just the skeleton and leather parts would be left and metal of course. Have some grass growing through it and you have a perfect scenario of jungle casulaties. On average it takes 3 days for a body to decompose in the wet jungle, climate and bug larva really do a job on bodies.

If you look at the Drakkar Models site you'll see that they dabble in both historical and fantasy figures and accessories. The skulls also come in small scale if you want to create an even more sinister scene in a 1/35 dio. The skulls with bones as displayed in the set have modern real world applications for dios or vignettes...Cambodia, Africa, and the Balkans to name a few were atrocities have occurred. You don't need a full skeleton to portray the horrors of genocide. If you really want to turn heads...or skulls...use the Drakkar Models 1/24 skulls or their Orkoïd / Goblinoïd skulls in a 1/35 dio!!! Even a single skull can tell a big story and be the focal point of a poignant scene...

I like the varying shapes and sizes the bones are sculpted into.

Thought about ordering a set. Funny thing, their website is in English, but when you go to the PayPal page, to check out, it's in French! Al
