I have just stumbled on this thread. I don't do Darkest Africa any more- having switched into modern war torn Africa instead, but I love what you have done here- It's inspiring me to go back to my colonial routes.

Well done!

The gun crew are Old Glory 'Egyptian Artillery Crew'. Not the best figures but I had leftovers from a pack of twenty and they seemed to fit the best. There's not a lot of choice for Darkest Africa cannon and machine gun crew prior to WW1.

Maybe this could fit for Artillery Zanibaris as well with a little conversion.

Nice idea!

How would they compare in size to the Copplestone figures?

They will fit very well to Copplestone miniatures.

I'm pretty sure those Perry figures didn't exist when I acquired the Old Glory figures, I almost certainly would have purchased them instead.

Perry would be more realistically proportioned than Copplestone for sure, and slightly smaller, but I've found that both manufacturers work together well if painted and based the same way.
