Probable size 12" x 12"
Jungle Outpost as PNG Patrol HQ.
Base set up to represent Jungles edge with small part of local air strip on which there will be a DHC2- Beaver in Qantas Livery.
Patrol Officers talking to Pilot (converted from the Ghurkha’s) some natives doing useful things - unloading stores tending to pigs etc Patrol Officer's Dog , from Bloodhound and maybe a Landrover also from Bloodhound
Source for natives - Airfix Indians - spares box or may have to resort to something from HAT |

| Small change I'll be using the Airfix Cessna Birdog In Civil Registration, after all we want the building to be the main focus! |

I've been mulling over some figure options for you.....The secret agent from the Airfix Lysander might make a suitable fleeing priest!
As for those angry fellows in pursuit, I'd say a thorough browse of this site:
http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/
Might help with some suitable candidates for the base figures.....I suspect some additional sculpting will be required for authenticity though!
HTH & All the best

PS - I've also had an idea for a title for the scenario we were discussing.....How does "The Devil You Say!" grab you?  _________________ ATF Unverified Spam Appreciation Society - Founding Member
