Daftest Africa - Another giraffe

[Digits]

Sorry…you need to ask Overlord for than one fella.

Er, yeah, I see that now.  They don't call me Captain Obvious fer nothin"...  

[Digits]

No worries!

Ok, these think paint very quickly which is always a boon……I can paint one of these in half the time it takes me to do one figure! Lol….probably shows! 🤣

Must make a Doug McClure figures 

To paraphrase the Simpsons, 'You'll probably recognize me from such films as...' 

[Digits]

You lost me guys!   🥴

A little detailing.  I’m pleased how the drainage channel worked out.   Any water would quickly evaporate so a simple green/brown wash to mark the channels.







Next terrain piece will be the archeological site, once the bits arrive.

You lost me guys!   🥴

Doug McClure starred in a lot of 'B' movies where they fought dinosaurs in jungles.
Parodied in the Simpsons where his character's first words are, ' You probably know me...'

Ahhhh!   Ok me being dumb.   I get it now.    I think if I’m not mistaken, I have a mini that represents him already…..

The iconic movie role for Doug McClure:



Of course, he is probably most remembered for his long running role in the TV series The Virginian.

His was a Very Recognizable face, for sure.

But that movie poster is penultimate Pulp I suppose.  And come to think of it, subtract the dinosaurs and you get close to my Pulp game I'm putting together: The Great and Terrible Schlong of Kong Disaster.  All the figures washed, all the bases pre-prepped.  Painting figures and, biggest task, building terrain up next.

[Digits]

And Paul is quite right…..I also have painted U boat and some German crew around here somewhere…..

[FifteensAway]

I think I have a man-crush on Digits - or at least his spectacular terrain modeling!   

[Digits]

Awww…shucks!

Miss Postie just handed me a parcel from Scotia Grendel….a couple of of tomb entrances and some broken pillar.   Think I will set this open tomb into a cliff face and structure the scaffold about it.

I also received these pla printed ladders.    Not sure about the big nail / peg at each rung…I think they need removing and rope substituting!  😫. Still…solid enough ladders as a basis.

The main bad guys in my foreseen pulp story will be my Bedouin Tribe.  The first few guys are ready.

Left to right…..Yasir Usama Babi, their leader Sheik Jabuti and Yahya Asif.



Mustafa Shufti and Yaseen Omar.



I make no apologies for their names!

My old sparring partner Brian is coming to stay in a few weeks and we are thinking of adapting our rules for Vulture Creek for this……we shall see.

Now this is clever.  Most excellent terrain. 

[FifteensAway]

No need to apologize for the names but I do think you got one slightly wrong, I do believe Sheik Jabuti should be Sheik Yerbuti - if you want to get it proper and aligned with a slightly different phrase.  A late friend used that name for one of his regular appearing characters.  Dance terms anyone?   

Really nice painting on those figures.  I think I may have seen the striped skull cap dude at a bob sled race.

Crooked dice have one also.
