Thanks so much to all of you for taking the time to write and for the very generous comments.  I have said this before, but it is very true and merits repeating, praise from the talented people on LAF is very highly valued by me.  I do appreciate it sincerely.  Overlord, Stu is correct.  The slaves are by Eureka.  Fifteensaway, I appreciate your forgiveness for my past transgressions, but it may please you to know that for the last six weeks I have reentered the world of 15mm/18mm, and I'm working/playing hard at putting together a French and Indian War collection that I hope will be ready for viewing by October.  Thanks again to all of you for the kind words... you've got to love a hippo with her hands/legs on her hips.  Richard

That's pretty stunning. Great ideas, great photos, very clever arrangements.

Simply brilliant; very evocative of the period.  Excellent painting, fantastic photography, interesting subjects.  What more can be said.

Once again thanks for the very generous comments.    Because there was a more open-end quality to this collection... no overarching central layout that I was required to work within, this collection allowed a lot more freedom when it came to arranging the figures and developing the different settings.  The safari and the river worked as  engines that I used to move through much of the collection.  And juergen c. olk, while a lot of love probably goes into all of the collections I do, there was something special for me in this one because the Foundry Darkest Africa figures played such a large part in drawing me into the world of 28mm figures.  Thanks again to all for writing.  I really appreciate hearing from you, and I am very glad you are enjoying my African adventure.  Richard

That's part of what I love about your gallery, Foundry Darkest Africa is what pulled me into historicals- it is still such an awesome range and one I'll be chipping away at for eternity :)

I recall the first time I saw the catalogue advertising the explorers, I was was blown away that someone had made those figures :)

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm drawn like the proverbial moth to the flame to this gallery.  I think I'm up to my fifth viewing - and I know there will be several more.  Sure, it fits right in with plans of my own, to a surprising degree, even.  But it's still captivating for me.

FifteensAway, it means a lot to me that you are really enjoying this gallery.  Years ago when I was putting together my medieval siege gallery I found a website called Harness and Array.  Throughout my medieval project I visited that site often looking for ideas that I could incorporate in my project or just for a little inspiration.  It pleases me very much that my Africa gallery may be serving you in a similar way.  Thank you so much for letting me know.  Good luck with your African adventure.  Richard

Richard,

The work and skill with a brush that has gone into producing the great brushwork alone is worth a look at all of the pics.

The fact that you have placed the mini's in such a great way with stunning terrain only adds to the overall loveliness  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.
