Mancha, it's mounted on a washer.

Ah, a fun opportunity lost.  Can you send me some Russian coins for my next project?  I will relish the look of confusion on oglers' faces when they turn over the mini to exclaim "Why, it's a ...a...Russian coin?!"  :)

Very nice figure :-* :-*
Great paint job considering you haven't painted in so long. You can still paint better than some of us (Me) who practice all the time :'(
I don't think you have posted a new figure since I joined the forum and it was seeing your stuff on your various sites that inspired me to join.
Nice to see you back. Looking forward to all your new paint jobs.

And you still just mix in white to make the lighter shades and highlights? I know, I'm asking these questions all the time, but I haven't gotten around to do any negroid minis as of yet (actually, I'm not painting anything at the moment - cannot find the motivation  :(  )

white is too "strong", I'm using Vallejo Ivory.

A very good advice. Pure white make hilites look chalky.

Is this the page from Foundry Victoriana you meant?


One where you can actually read hopefully.


Still rubbish, the scan I made is readable though. PM me with your e-mail address and I'll e-mail you a copy.

Azande... azande... this name remembers me something... Yessss!!! I have something hiding in the drawers...

They aren't as good as the prof.'s ones but here they are:



and their enemies, the Force publique:



and the arab (well, arabized) slavers:



Yes, I know, my skills as a photographer are even worse than as a painter, but I'm trying to contribute to this nice forum  :)

Thanks for the great post Banderium. It's nice to see other people contribute to the thread. The Prof is a wonderful painter but don't sell yourself short! You've got great looking minis and a nice paint job!
