Thank you very much, gentlemen, your kind comments are very much appreciated

The absolutely beautiful work you have done on your African figures was one of the key inspirations that drove me to put together my African adventure.  Thank you.  I never get tired of looking at these figures.  Richard

Really happy to have contributed some inspiration, Richard, thanks

Great to see these. Grimm's  jungle scenery are still some of my most favourite ever pieces from the LAF.

Absolutely, he's still THE genius when it comes to making jungle

I have just been back through the entire thread as it's first two incarnations are from before I signed up.
Absolutely stunning brushwork through the ages ( ).
 

 Really glad that you revived it, as everyone should have the pleasure of seeing this for the first time (and a second and third time for a lucky few).
 

You're welcome, Paul and thnak you for the your nice comments

Fantastic painting, with very vivid colors, and a beautiful scenery. Your trees, sir, stand out like very few other pieces of scenery. Are you by any chance using bonsais?

Thank you, Malto! Like mentioned, the terrain was made by Grimm not by me. And yes, as far as I know he was using bonsais for some of them.

Some weeks ago, the guys from the Studio Tomahawk asked me for some Africa scenery pictures for their coming rule set Congo, so of course I was happy to be of help and also to have the opportunity to make finally some proper photos of my Africa collection. Today two first set-ups..

First of all a classical African Village, some huts, some pots, some witchcraft..









The second scenery should depict a classical European adventuring party, struggling through the jungles of Congo. Of course I had to take one of all-time my favorit figures, the Allain Quartermaine, made by Mark Copplestone. The older members of LAF should particularly remember this one









That's for today, more next time. The drums are just telling me of a Savage King and his witches..

[Drunkendwarf]

Nice! (and very inspirational  ).
Now I have two reasons to await the new rules; rules and pretty pictures.

Beautiful scenes, Alex.
 

And great inspiration for some imminent jungle scenery.

This... this is so great.  

[Phil Robinson]

Superb stuff, makes me want to dig some DA figures to paint.

[Admiral Benbow]

Absolutely stunning! Fantastic setup and photography! 

[Rob Herrick]

Absolutely beautiful, especially the terrain.

Did you make or purchase the huts for the village?
