Hey, who tied up Shlongzan?

Love the zebras - you've studied them carefully, shows with the yellow tinting, did the same with mine in 15 mm.  Now I have to match nine primed figures as close as I can so all 48 will be 'close enough' to all be the same herd. 

The herd of 44 loose mammaries ain't bad, neither!    lol

Great painting throughout but my favourites are the zebras, they're very impressive. The yellowish shading works extremely well.

I agree  :)

I believe that's a Pulp Figures miniature, Harry.

These are amazing! Who makes most of these?

I am not perfectly sure about each single miniature, but there are Foundry, Northstar, Ral Partha, TinMan, Pulp Figures and Brother Vinni.

These are amazing! Who makes most of these?

I think the female archers, row 1, are Copplestone.

The 3 females in colorful pants, row 12, are Hasslefree "harem guards."

The guys in grass skirts, rows 18 & 19, are Northstar "extreme cannibals."

The two jungle queens in row 20 look like Tin Man to me, but not sure.

Row 21 has the Foundry Livingstone figure, and 4 out of 5 figures from the Pulp Figures "Safari Into Danger" pack. The other figure in that pack, not shown here, is a female in skirt, shirt, & sun helmet, with backpack. 

And, Michi, your work is absolutely fantastic, as usual.

All except for the one leaning on her bow/stick. She's not a Copplestone figure. I don't recognize her at all.

She is a Ral Partha conversion, who started her life as guard with a halberd/spear of their 1990s Slave Auction, I admit...  ::)

Thanks a lot for your kind words -  and here is your reward: My last and final miniature for Congo. Almost unbelievable to myself: The African leadpile is gone and left a plain and deserted area in my attic, now that all the little warriors are painted and safely stuffed in boxes. Enough words now- here are the facts. I proudly present -
The Emir
