Is it a conversion or an actual mini mate?

Darrell.



As you now know, an original miniature.  I did, however, add some more jungle stuff with er, greenstuff to fill up the edge of the base.

Victoria Lamb has sculpted other stuff beside the steampunk.  Fighting 15s here in the UK carries some of her ranges.

No.57 - Mirambo
AKA Heaps of Corpses



Everyone's favorite African warlord, the 'Napoleon of Africa', Mirambo. This is a conversion I've been wanting to do for a while, based off an Osprey image in Warrior Peoples of East Africa. Plynykes beat me to it, doing a very fine conversion of his own a couple years ago, and mine bears a more than passing similarity to his.
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

It's not a problem, Herby, but if you want me to I can edit a smaller version into your post.
                                   Thank you Plynkes,if you could it would be nice if they were at least half or a third that size.

Ha, he does at that. But yours is an all-round much better job, both in the conversion and the painting.

You scoundrel!  ;D
