I think you were on the right track with the "Gaming" miniatures. If any genre would have them that would be it.

I was big into D&D back in the 80's. I know for a fact "Grenadier", Ral Partha" and others made skeletons in 15 and 25 mm because I had some. I remember using a paint called "bone" on them that looked really good. Check ebay.

Also in the last year or so I saw a "skeleton army" in the toy section at one of the dollar stores. These were "army men" plastic and about 15-25 mm. They looked pretty darn good too.

So I'd same check Gaming and Toys.

 You might want to check out games-workshop.  They have a few boxed sets of skeletons for a couple of their armies.  Your best bet would be the figures for the Tomb Kings army.  The price isn't too bad either.                       knox

Most gaming figures are around 25-32mm that works out to my eye at least as 1/48th. They might be workable with a 1/43 auto though.

I've seen some small 15mm gaming skellies for wargames but I'm not sure they're still in production. You might check Ebay though.

 You are right Gamera.  GW figures would be too large for 1/72.  My mistake.  PVI,  i'm going to my LGS tonight and will look to see if they have any small scale bones.       knox

If you just google "1/72 scale skeleton figures for sale" you'll get a few options.

Just fooling around here waiting to eat supper and found these:

Splintered Light Miniatures

Khurasan Miniatures

Never ordered from either of these guys so I have no idea what quality the figures are.

WOW! Thanks for all the leads guys! I really appreciate it! I'll definitely pursue those links, and see what I can find for the gaming figures locally. There's still one local source I've yet to check, so fingers crossed. Thank you all so much, you guys rock!

PVI: I hope you're post your results here. I love that movie and the Evil Dead films too, I'd love to see how she works out!

Every now and then I get a really weird idea for a diorama and I just have to make it. My current bizarre project- the battle from "Army of Darkness". This scene, in particular. I found the car (a diecast from Corgi) at Goodwill, and got the idea to modify the car, and set it up on a small wooden base to look like Bruce Campbell's machine from the movie.

I will post some pictures when I get the build started in earnest.

1. i love Army of Darkness...

2. what car are you using for Ash's wheels? I managed to find a 71 Delta 88 in 1/24 scale, pretty close to his 73.

3. pictures, you'd better
