It's tough to carefully paint something meant to look haphazard!

Yep, but you've done an excellent job, makes me want to start in on my DA collection again too

Beautiful work.
How about some group shots of each force?

Inspirational work!

Excellent as always

I think a group shot might be in order soon

Many thanks to all of you!

I will see what I can do regarding the group shot of the different factions. Though all pictures here were made with my mobile phone. Hope that I can manage a group shot with the equipment I have.

Really nice!

Maybe we should also organise an 'african partisan-con' in the future...

Great idea Turbo-Ben!

On the workbench right now are some more skirmishing Tetela with fancy hair cuts armed with muskets.

Stay tuned

Amazing...it is hard to look through this thread and not feel inspired to have a go at Darkest Africa. Great, atmospheric work...!

Hello Gentleman,

with this post I just want to make a historical correction and give a little information about a purchase I made.

I´ve re read the book "The African Wars" by Chris Peers (published by Pen & Sword) a few days ago.
A few month ago I made a mistake by saying that Sefu is the nephew of Tippu Tip.

That´s not correct.
Sefu was the son of Tippu Tip and Rashid was the nephew of Tippu Tip. Just for the papers :-)

On page 147 in the book it says that Dhanis force had a single 75mm Krupp field gun.
Knowing that I like to replace the little gun in my collection with an appropriate model for my Force Publique collection.

I´ve ordered this beauty from Askari Miniatures a few days ago (along with some pack mules to carry it through the jungle)

http://www.askari-minis.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=23_45&products_id=90&zenid=1je339vc1ut06ivi4id5gq0b27

I´m really looking forward to paint more stuff for the Force Publique as well in the next coming months.

Cheers
Dr. Moebius

Hello,

as requested here some group shots. I tried my best

Force Publique so far

Still to do:
wound markers, some more baggage (mules), 75mm Krupp mountain gun, maybe a third Askari company, and of course more Tetela.

Dr. Moebius · « **Reply #113 on:** January 31, 2014, 07:17:23 PM »

And the the Arabs so far:

Still to do:
lots, lots, lots...
I think I have to do 4 times more bases than for the Force Publique

Excellent

Thank you kindly. Even though the pictures aren't the best the close ups more than compensate and it's great to get an overall idea

cheers

Indeed.

And these certainly, are as we know the level of quality on each of those bases.

Barry S · « **Reply #117 on:** February 01, 2014, 12:03:16 AM »

They look brilliant

Atheling · « **Reply #118 on:** February 01, 2014, 04:03:38 AM »

Stunning stuff- not only the painting but the thought that has gone into designing the bases and how they interact.

Brill

Darrell.
