Sefu looks great, very impressive!
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

That is a real nice figure. The face is full of character and the richness of the coat blue is lovely.

Hello Gentlemen

Today I have my update day on LAF. Kids have their after-lunch nap and Madame Moebius is out for shopping. Brilliant!

I´ve not managed to finish Sefus base but will show you the WIP. Also have pics of the finished Tetela warriors bases (matt varnish and bases finished).

Some weekends ago I visited the Crisis wargames show in Antwerp. Sometimes it is really funny, you have your pockets full of money and in then end it is the 10 € deal that makes your day.

I bought lots of Foundry bits from Dave T. who was there again with his Perry Miniatures stuff. The great thing was that I found a fist full of severed african heads on stakes. This bit is normally in a Foundry Force Publique blister but only one time. BINGO!
I know that sounds a little bit strange to be happy about a fist full of severed heads on stakes but this will make perfect wound markers for this project.  ;D

O.K. will go on with this project and hope to keep it up to date in the next month.

Cheers
Dr. Moebius

Thanks guys!
Makes me happy that you like my painting style.

Hope that I will get more of those Tetela warriors done in the future. They are a lot of fun to paint.

Cheers

Beautiful painting.  I can't believe I haven't written this note earlier… a sign of old age.  Really wonderful work.  Thanks for posting. Richard

This is truly outstanding work! I'm never checking out the threads in Colonial Adventures but now that I've seen this I'll have look here more often.

Hello dear Gentlemen,

tonight I finished the command base with Sefu and his retinue. It took far too long for my taste.
So my plan for 2014 is to minimum paint one base per month for my death in the dark continent project. That will end the year with 12 more bases. Not too much but still progress for painting my Darkest Africa collection. We will see, maybe I will end up with more.

Hope you like the command base for my Congo Arab army.

Cheers
