As title, I've been making dioramas for people as gifts and there aren't a lot of things that my wife likes that I feel I could also recapture in 28mm. Lost is *potentially* one of those things. I found a pretty good site with lots of links when I looked for doctor Who minis, but that's been around a lot longer and makes a bit more sense. I doubt I'm gonna find anything as close as a not-character, but maybe I can get lucky with some generics, a little work, and the right colors. Primarily the most maindary characters. And who knows, maybe my google-fu is just weak and one of you has a link to the whole cast

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Some of the infinity PanOceania Acontecimento regulars are said to be modelled on certain LOST characters - and I think the keisotsu missile launcher guy is also meant to be one of them.

I've never watched more than the opening 10 minutes of it, though (In my world, aircraft engine don't run upside down - especially after the aircraft has crashed).

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

Hah! I've atl-f4'ed some shows for doing stupid stuff early on. I didn't even consider that but I should have (where's the fuel, etc blah blah). Infinity models as likenesses huh, that's about as good as I could hope, thanks

I've not seen much of Lost, but there may be some mileage in the WGF Zombie Survivor plastic sets. Two kits, The Men and The Women, and enough variety that if it's 28mm, human and occasionally carries some kind of weapon, tool, you can build it. http://www.wargamesfactory.com/webstore/dark-futures

So, those are fantastic. I'm gonna have to get some. Have you got any idea how variable the arms are? The heavyset lady with the RPG for instance, does she have to have that weapon (seems like the other arms would be thin)?

Regardless that's a good place to look generically speaking, and I wouldn't mind having those kicking around anyway

I'm honestly not sure, they're on my 'one day' list but not something I own. There are sprue pics on the site, I think, but it's hard to see.

I read the comments a little. If there are any complaints, they are about getting specific poses/equipment options. I guess they have 10 static poses on a sprue x3 and then one pack of guns and gear. But if you want a certain character to have a certain weapon or pose, you've gotta look into cutting. Still a good place to look.

Lol yeah, looking at the acontecimento regulars I see.. Jack, Locke, Kate, and Sawyer, dunno if there's more than 4 sculpts or not.
