Title: Queen of the Jungle and friends
Post by: Evilcartoonist on 02 April 2008, 12:07:16 AM

I had Sheena, her panther and her mentor, Koba painted up already. Here, I've painted up a tribe to back her up, along with a leopard and a shaman.
Enjoy! (Large pic)

Very nice indeed. Top job. Love the way you do those shields and the leopard skin is to die for. I can never get leopard skin-type effects to look right.

This reminds me, I painted up my version of her a while back. I'll have to post a pic some time.

The Queen is definitely Copplestone, I dunno about the cats??

I think the cats are Ral Partha, maybe?  :?

Excellent job though, whoever they are from, the pattern on the left hand one is awesome. As is everything else, really.  :)

WOW, those shields are fantastic!  The rest of the models are top notch as well.  Fantastic work.  Really makes me feel bad because I think I have all those models except for her, and they are all that shiny lead color...not terribly realistic at all.  I have no idea who did those big cats but they are great sculpts.

Yes, now I really think they're the Ral Partha ones, 6mmfan has a pic of an unpainted one in this thread:

Meant to be cheetahs rather than leopards, but at this scale, who can tell the difference?

Thanks, everybody!
Here's the make of all the figures:

Sheena is the Barbarian Queen figure from Copplestone
Castings "Collection" range.

The cats are indeed Ral Partha from the lion pride set ( I also have the male lion and cubs that came with the set- as of yet unpainted). I don't have any info on the product code or where you can even find these cats anymore. I found mine in the bargain bin at my local shop many years ago.

The witchdoctors are from the Wargames Foundry Darkest Africa witchdoctor pack (DA 6/2)

And the warriors are Wargames Foundry Darkest Africa Masai (from packs DA 11/3 and DA 11/.) I painted them up as my own made-up tribe of modified versions of Masai moroni (young warriors). The real moroni dress in all black with white-painted faces. I added a couple red faces as "elite" warriors, and painted the shields combining the designs of the all-black clothing with traditional masai shield designs.

A quick look through the Iron Wind Metals (http://ironwindmetals.com) site doesn't find any sign of the old RP lion pride set, but IWM's site is really hard to search. Pity.
