Copplestone Castings - 'New' Releases

[Old Goat]

This isn't a thread about Zanzibars in Newport is it?

Only when I went it was big on boob tubes and low on Fez's...

Could be used as Uniformed Askari. British etc. Yes?

And Force Publique Askari he says hopefully?

[aecurtis]

From the surviving uniforms of the Force Publique on display in Brussels, their askaris wore a collarless blouse, tucked into knickerbockers that reached just below the knee.  Foundry's "Belgian Askaris" are based on these.

The Copplestone Zanzibaris are wearing tunics with stand-up collars, worn over long trousers.

Thank you Allen

Well, as this in effect another variant to my Explorers i think a trip to Foundry is in order. And as i'm working out of our Nottinghan City office on Fri, it would be rude not to call in ...

[Edit: wrong thread as this in on Copplestone figures]

Here's a link to my little group, including what I used for command. No one makes anything precisely like the plate depicting officers so I modified some Foundry and Copplestone figures.

I'm not pissed than they were re-released, even though I don't plan to acquire more. I purchased some many years ago from Copplestone and got lucky on an auction or two so I could fill out the force.

I admit to being a little angry when Foundry released figs that had been 'limited editions' but I got over that pretty fast. The concept of limited figures bother me now- if people want them, sell them dammit!

Gorgeous work - makes me tempted to try my hand at it!

Thanks for the kind words, they're pretty minor conversions really- the greenstuff work isn't the best either- that's why the pics are kind of far away
