The Trickster Hero and the Camp Figures by Mike Yarrow. The igloos on stronghold were made from an expanded polystyrene ball cut in half. The entrances were made from milliput and the whole thing textured and painted. The spears propped up against the igloo are made from toothpicks and the sled at the rear is scratchbuilt, also from toothpicks, and rested on blocks of ice made from milliput.
