Tarzan and friend

Ral partha figures.  "Lord of the Jungle" and "Zulu Warrior" in the catalogue.  I think of them as "Tarzan and the African Prince."

Tremendous. The contrast between the two rather wonderful fleshes is fantastic.

You keep finding these gems in the RP range dont you

just excellent!
finally it is a tanned tarzan, not north british pink rain tan  ;)
and the "jungle prince" is also wonderful

someone should inform RP about Zulu outfit, however  8)

how about adding a Zulu (ot whatever kind) of shield rested on the ground?
could go well with the spear

Both are great but I really like the skin tones on the African Prince. I also think that the blue of the arm bands and necklace really works.

Wow! It's Ron Ely and Woody Strode, excellent Malcolm   :-*

My son's got a Cartoon DVD of Tarzan and his African prince mate. It's where I get most of my inspiration.  ;)

Fantastic figures!! Excellent detail in your painting scheme and choice of colours. Are they 28mm? Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for commenting.  Glad you like them.

There are certainly many gems within the range.  All so well cast too and flash free.  No pitting on the castings either.  (Why can't other manufacturers achieve this?)

They are 28mm - whatever that means.   ::) Certainly not "heroic" and the builds are more "slight" than some others.  Just makes them look more natural though.
