Thought I'd post a picture to introduce myself. I'f been doing Darkest Africa since Foundry first released the figures.

Welcome aboard!

(And I wouldn't encourage those hippos to follow your boat, if I were you. Have you been throwing them buns? Probably not wise, I've heard they can be a bit of a handful when they get boisterous.)

Welcome to the LAF. I like those waterline hippos. It would be good to see some more of your collection.

Welcome to LAF.
Love the wild life in the photo.
But it may not be the time for a swim. ;)

Ok.  Here's a few more. When I get a chance, I'll post my Siberian VSF pictures in an appropriate spot.

Lovely stuff, and another thumbs up for the tomb. I'm just starting out a 1920's Egypt project so would especially love to see more pics in that vein  :D

Great stuff. Where did you get the hippo models from. I like them a lot.

The Hippos are Foundry and Acheson Creations. Since they spend over 80% of their time in the water, Imdon't actually own any full body ones. 

The tomb is part of a giant plastic  playset I got on sale after Christmas several years back. Cost me $20.  I just sprayed it with a Krylon stone texture paint and I was good to go. I'm take a couple of pictures of the whole set when I get home.
