Just a few random figures from my unpainted lead mountain.
Copplestone Barbarian Queen, Foundry Darkest Africa witchdoctor and a Ral Partha ( I think) lionesse painted as a black panther,

I'll use them to play Tusk.

The highlighting in the panther is great! I like all them...

Great looking gang of adventurers there.

I'll second the praise for the Panther, looks great and it's a good, stalking pose.

Excellent paint job there. All the figures look great.

Cannon Powershot A460; a nice cheap basic camera.
And plenty of light- Sylvania 60-watt daylight bulbs (I used three for this pic; they were positioned just behind and about three feet above the camera to simulate the sun- still need more light.)

Oh- and there was a little fiddling with levels in my photo program

Nice one. You have inspired me to get to work on my own copy of this figure, which I too bought to use as a "Queen of the Jungle."

I've decided to "Africanise" mine a little, though, and dispensed with the sword and shield. This is how far I've got since seeing your pic a little earlier today:

She will do as an Ngoni Queen, or possibly (with a little re-writing of the ending of the original novel), a Kukuana female general (the offspring of Captain Good and Foulata).

As there is a slight passing resemblance between her and a certain famous singer, I have decided to base her colour scheme on the outfits from one of her old group's videos:

Sweet! WHat a great idea- I wish I had thought of it; I have a bunch of those Zulu (and Masai) shields sittin' around taking up space.

Can't wait to see yours painted up! I do enjoy some of these little gems Copplestone creates

Painted her absolutely ages ago, but forgot all about taking a picture. I'm taking pics of other stuff this afternoon so grabbed her while I was at it.

So, finally...

Hey! If you have no use for those, send them to me!

I was shorted some on my last Foundry order. :cry:

This is beautiful work. Both of them are spectacular.
