Me, myself and I in the Dark Continent - new update after 5 years...

These are excellent, lovely painting and basing!!

Hello Gentlemen

It took me far longer than expected to finish the next two bases for this project. But tonight I can post the command base of my Manyema Slave Hunters unit featuring Big Yusef and his personal drummer as well as another base for the unit.

Big Yusef, converted drummer and bodyguard:

Brilliant paintwork, love the work on the faces, they all look a tad unhappy and the drummer looks to be in a right evil mood, wouldn't want to bump into any of them on a dark night.

[Dr. The Viking]

Lovely!

I wish I had your skills!

[Goosegog]

Superb. The bright stripes against the white tunics (?) really sets off the figures. Is the clothing historically accurate or is that your interpretation? Apologies I'm not being picky but I know next to nothing about this period or region so its curious interest. 

[Bugsda]

Excellent 

[Atheling]

Very impressive stuff!! 

I still have the old problem of deciding whether to base DA mini's on single bases or to go for multiple basing.

I suppose you could get away with both using Death in the Dark Continent but you would lack the aesthetic that you have managed to capture so well with your collection.

Thanks to all of you, that´s really great response.

Thanks for your comment.
It is a little bit of both. Historical reports say that the Arab influenced people wore mostly white tunics with white and or cloured turban or red fez. The had also some coloured fabrics with stripes etc.
So they should be historically correct with a little bit of my own interpretation.

[Dr DeAth]

Brilliant stuff, love the flesh tones and faces

[OSHIROmodels]

Almost tempting to start another period...

More Africa,

as I said a few days ago I will post more of my stuff. Well, will do so now.

I finished two more bases of Ruga-Rugas bringing the unit now to five in total:

Those are absolutely 1st class - well done sir!!

[Dr. Moebius]

Hello Gentlemen,

I´m sorry but real life was very busy in the last weeks and so my Death in the Dark Continent project suffered.

The only little progress that I made is that I finished "Sefu" (Chief for my Congo Arabs). I´ve also managed to start with the three other miniatures on his base though I can´t make any promises when the complete base will be finished.

OK, hope you enjoy Sefu until I will post the complete base:

[Centaur_Seducer]

Love it!
