Plastic Darkest Africa

[Clearco]

For two years I began this conversions on Wargames Factorys zulus but I couldn´t finish them because I went to Germany for a couple of years. Now I have rediscovered them.
I´m by now a bit better in modelling but I´d like to show you these anyway  :

-Ruga Ruga:


-Askari:


-Ngoni:


Those ^^ where my first (and last ) attempt in dipping.



I hope you enjoy them.
(I have big plans regarding the new Warlord´s zulus and Perry´s mahdist )

Wowee   those are sooooo good.

The Ruga with his foot on the rock is inspired. Keep up the good work, I cant wait to see what you come up with next. Dont you dare leave it 2 years though

I've got to get some plastic sets for my DA project.  Perry and Warlord welcome to my world!

[Clearco]

Thank you people!
I hope I manage to have the time to finish these 
I´m really very excited how the conversiones might look like with better minis as base like Perrys and Warlords (and not WF  )

[Bugsda]

Excellent, love the sepia tone they've got 

[Traveler Man]

Excellent conversions!  I bought some of these a while back, and it's useful to see the potential.

[Clearco]

Thank you both 
I think the WF plastics get a lot better with a little work, since they are a cheap and useful base for conversions. (but they are not so nice if untouched  )

even better than Foundry's ruga

[Clearco]

even better than Foundry's ruga

Thank you! I like the Foundry ones aswell but they are way to expensive  

I have adquired a couple of boxes of Warlord´s zulus and I´m making more Ngoni of them  




Maybe it´s not so correct to make all of them with the bombastic headdress but that´s the charm of the ngoni IMO

Awesome Clearco 

[Clearco]

Thanks Jorge! 

[Stecal]

and you wonder why Foundry is reducing their Darkest Africa line...

[Dr Mathias]

What sort of modeling putty are you using? They're very nice conversions!

[Frank]

WOW! Very nice work…these conversions are fantastic!

[Engel]

Great work.
