Lovely, really lovely. Thanks for the African skin recipe - I've always struggled to get good Afro-Caribbean skintones.

Brilliant figures, both painting and modelling\assembly.
I think the different manufacturers mix very well together and add even more variety.

...just a daylight lamp...

As in literally a single lamp?  Which make\model?

(The two lamps I used for photos are kaput so I'm looking to replace them.  Perhaps I only need one.   ::) )

I'm in the same boat- my Ott-Lite has given up on me :(

Thanks :)

Well it was from the Daylight Company and I've had it 15 years or so. It's a big lamp with twin fluorescent daylight tubes. They don't seem to make anything like it any more - everything in the world of lighting has gone over to flipping LEDs now...  ::)
The closest thing to it (in form anyway, although the bulb technology is different) is this: https://daylightcompany.com/lumi-task-lamp/

I might do a few more I suppose... You can never have enough Zulus, it’s true.
