Title: Time for a figure inventory
Post by: RichBliss on June 05, 2017, 05:32:24 PM: I sorted out all of my "Darkest Africa" figures to get a better idea of what units I needed to reinforce or build from scratch. Here's the result. I'm going to beef up my tribals with some more Azande and then probably Mahdists.

And who are the unit in blue uniforms and off-white hats?

Then placed them on waxed paper and puddled a copious amount of Elmers white glue on around the washer. After the glue completely dried, it peels right off. Paint the base to match your favorite African River and voila.

Sounds like my approach. I figure I'll be done with the Foundry DA catalogue in another two-three years :)

Excellent point. I'll put some on the list for the next order. I just got 3 hyenas from Foundry and more scavengers will fit right in.

Post by: FifteensAway on June 07, 2017, 02:05:45 AM: Well, yes, vultures, sure. But! With that many lions you're going to be needing, oh, forty or fifty zebras and a similar number of wildebeests and a bunch of Tommies. And probably a couple dozen Cape Buffalo. Get on, it; we with the appreciation await the results.

(Some painted, about one hundred fifty, but all others finally primed and I'm well over six hundred animals for my African adventures - and expecting another hundred or so some day soon, I hope. Now where can I find good 15/18 mm vultures, chimps, baboons, and flamingos!!!!!)
