any idea of what miniature I could use for for the savage children in a diorama of William Golding's Lord of the Flies
any help appreciated.

**lindsay40k**

I'm sorry to say I can't think of anything, but I'm intrigued by your idea and look forward to seeing a blog and/or finished pics.

**DarthLakey**

yeah, idea for a school project I had - but I just can't find any minis that have a savage enough look. they're all 'townsfolk'

**ZacktheChaosChild**

Convert?

**DarthLakey**

from what, zack??

**SagesStone**

Maybe a dwarf or something, that only solves the problem of the fat kid though. Depends on what part you're going to be doing.

Most of it is probably going to require sculpting a majority if not all of them. Maybe just find some normal, as you say townsfolk, then convert them up to fit the part.

what about http://www.hasslefreeminiatures.co.uk/pack.php?pack=1377this guy[url]
i am doing the scene at the end of the book, just before they get rescued
naval capt will be IG officer.

I am also going to have the 'beast' in there - played by a 'nid

Depends how realistic you want it to be. If you don't mind a cartoony look you could always convert some gretchins/goblins.

**lindsay40k**

Thinking about it, I would imagine you could use pretty much any 28mm heroic scale* mini as a child, provided you made the scenery at about 40mm scale so as to make them look smaller.

*Warhammer and 40K humans have exaggerated proportions; Lord of the Rings is a more realistic 28mm scale.
