Hello there, long time occasional browser of this fine forum. With my Colonial project finally taking off seamed a good time to join.

Been collecting the odd Darkest Africa mini over the past 10 years and after finding a copy of In the Heart of Africa in my local games store decided it about time I put them to use.

The first force I am building is a mob of Somalis using a mix of the Copplestone figures and converted Perry Ansar.

Heres my first batch of blokes straight from the painting table. My cameras a bit rubbish so the paint jobs dont show up to well.

This is the first of my converted up Perry plastics, added a greenstuff Somalis style fro and shield.

only another 50+ blokes to go

Thanks very much for the warm welcome

Managed to find the time today to paint up a Scout for my Somalis. Whent for a well traveled veteran warrior look for him to help stand out against the sparsely equipped rank&file.

Been thinking about building some scenery but am at a bit off a loss as were to start, does any one know of any useful sources of information on Somali buildings and settlements during the period?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Wow. He is excellent

Is that another plastic conversion? If so, your styling of the hair is dead impressive.

Animatic · « **Reply #14 on:** September 14, 2011, 10:33:37 AM »

Thanks

Aye he's another Perry plastic with added Greenstuff barnet.
I should image I will be quite the expert at modelling hairdos by the time I finish this project
