Paymaster Ancient Hawaiians

These are the figures I bought at Enfilade yesterday. They went together without much difficulty. I used a little bit of Tamiya epoxy putty (similar to Green Stuff, but much cheaper) and super glue to attach the arms, bodies, and heads.
As you can see from the picture below, the king sizes well with Eureka. However, the warriors are slighter overall than the more muscular Eureka figures. Also, the gourd helmets should be a little bigger and rounder; then again, it matches the slighter sculpts, I suppose. 
The most disappointing figure is the one I had wanted most by seeing it on the website. The noble with a separate base with a two-pronged spear. It is way too small! It looks like 20mm or so. I couldn't really tell the size discrepancy yesterday because of the figure being in multiple parts. I suppose he could be a menehune.
I also clipped the slot tabs to fit onto 25mm fender washers; using the remaing bit of the slot tab to fit into the washers' center hole. Again, using epoxy putty and super glue to secure the figure to the washer. 
Well, I did want to give Paymaster a try. The multi-part assembly didn't bother me as much as the size difference. Anyway, these are my next painting project. Until next time, thanks for stopping by, and wishing you all the best.

  1. Most do match in quite well. But I agree on the Noble being small, can you not raise his base to make him look a liitle bigger, so it doesn't catch your eye so much?

    1. Thanks, Ray! I plan on painting the noble, and giving it as a gift to friend in the hospital - hopefully he'll recover, but in the meantime, he can look at it while recuperating. Kindest regards, Dean

  2. Nice figures Dean but yes the size variation is a bit too big ?

    1. Thanks, Matt. Yes, I was very disappointed with that little noble - he was the one I had highest hopes for. Kindest regards, Dean
