Totally brilliant brushwork
As good close up as they are from afar
Fantastic use of bright colours but with subtle ones where appropriate
Please keep em coming
Good moaning

Fantastic brushwork, particularly on the tartan  :o

And could I ask where you got the tribal mask in the second picture? Is it DIY or the result of cutting the head off a figure, or is there a commercial source I don't know about?

It's part of the base on the figure, Northstar Miniatures Congo range, not sure if you can get it individually.

redzed - thanks for clearing up the mystery.  I think I will try my luck with North Star and see what they say.

Very nice, I have the 1st 3 female figures but mine are only 28mm and I can't get the sort of detail you have managed with these - they must be 100mm at least. lol lol lol

Seriously though these are very good, I do like the white painted natives, is this your fancy or is it historically accurate? Sorry if it's a dumb question.

I understand that there are a number of tribes known to use white body paint. I'm sure I remember reading about several Ethiopian tribes who did/do. There will almost certainly be something online. I'm sure someone with better knowledge than me can tell you who.
