Plastic Darkest Africa

Really like what you're doing here, Clearco. The Ngoni look great, but my favourites are those turbans on the Ruga Ruga. I need more practice with putty, I find it dreadfully difficult.

[Clearco]

Thank you all!

What sort of modeling putty are you using?

I´m using this one, way cheaper than the GW one: http://www.feroca.com/product.php?id_product=45

Thanks! I´m making new Ruga Ruga with Warlord as a base, I´ll show you when they´re finished
I think the tip with putty is to wait a little for it to dry before you work with it. It is easier then

That is impressive work! Really like it! Amazing how you've increased the appeal of the WF sculpts.

I finally managed to paint some Ngoni  
A ton of fotos:










Utsho njalo yena, uti, Aziqwebane!

I hope you like them

Those are smashing!

Super conversions, great paint jobs!

The shield texture looks fantastic. Really nice work all around!

Lovely paint jobs on some fab conversions.

Agreed.

[Stecal]

Those are great..  They do look like they belong in the early 1970's with that hair though.

Excellent work. I love the way you've painted the shields too!

[Clearco]

Thanks for the kind comments!

[Traveler Man]

Great conversions, and nice paintwork!  It shows what can be done with plastics.

Today I made my Ngoni Chief  :




The feathers are from several Warlord´s Zulu heads, since I didn´t want to sculpt anything hard today 

[cram]

He looks great. But I also have to mention the grass you have him running through, not sure what you have used but it looks really effective

Looks great, but I want to see some colors on the first chaps i this thread. 

[Clearco]

Thanks! 
@Cram: That´s a fur mat. I cut it a little with scissors so it looks irregular. I borrowed the idea from here:

@Engel: I think it could last a bit until I paint them: Now I´m so enthusiastic about Warlord´s Zulus that I want to repeat them all but with the new zulus as a base
