Inspirational, thanks for posting these Plynykes. Beautiful skin tones, seamless conversions, what's not to like?

Do you have an earlier post that discusses the scenery, huts, cliffs in the background?

Excellent post, glad to see you back in action!

The cliffs have been mentioned in passing before, they are terrarium rocks, and they come like that out of the box. No work required. Best bet is to google Aquarium/Terrarium suppliers in your neck of the woods. Forget exactly which site I got them from.



Buildings are from Grand Manner and Empress Miniatures. They both do Zulu huts (which is what they are), but the Empress ones are much cheaper and just as nice. So with a bit of money saved I splashed out on the Grand Manner grain store (the raised one with windows) and chicken coop sets (that's the one where you can see a bit of wicker fencing in the background - don't have a clearer shot of it at the minute unfortunately).

Thanks for the information, everything looks great. I'm not very familiar with all the terrain manufacturers out there, and certain things like those huts aren't worth the time and effort  to scratchbuild them.

Much appreciated!

Being totally absorbed by all that genitalia I forgot to say you present a spledid display, Plynkes. Great PJ and a gorgeous groupshot which reminds me of the glory days of LAF.

Absolutely fantastic miniatures and set against a very realistic background.  I will be certainly be investing in some of those aquarium rocks for my Zulu wargames table.  Thanks for re-igniting my thirst for the period.
