Great job! :-* :-* Do you have any concerns that the bases will be steady?

Rea;;y lovely work Jack :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
Do you have a close ups? It's often very good for helping to see how one has painted up the mini ;) :)
Cheers,
Darrell.
The Reaper Dark Flesh Triad really helped with the skin tones.
Excellent work. I confess of all the Masai paint jobs I found online yours was the one I mimicked due to the 'soft tones and bright colors' as the man said...very nice....and authentic looking IMO.
By the way, what matt varnish do you use to finish the figures off...?
Cheers

Thanks Happy :)
The only varnish I use is a spray of Testors Dullcoat.
For decals and flags I give a coat of Liquitex gloss varnish before the Dullcoat to give added protection & prevent shrinkage.
Yeah, I used to use Dullcoat a lot back in the day.... until the EU insisted that they desist from selling here or they change the formula. The white tins are rubbish in terms of the matte finish one gets when compared to the old black tins sadly. I use Windsor and Newton Artists Quality Spray now (as suggested to me by our very own Jeff on LAF) and haven't looked back.

??? What's the spray stuff called Athers, any tips on using it? ???
It's flatter than the new Dullcoat formula (if you can still get your mitts on the old formula for *@#* sake use a respirator- it's really nasty stuff and a carcinogen).
I make sure I'm breathing through a cigarette when I spray dullcote Darrell, no problems so far ;)
Those Masai are excellent! Love the muted colours. I'll be copying that if I ever get around to painting mine :-*
