DA Native Bearer

Hi all,

More Darkest Africa, this time a Native Bearer. These guys are essential to any expedition in the Dark Continent :) Pleased with the outcome, particularly the stripy pants, a colour combo i will use more in the future. Again he is for sale so let me know if interested. I have more DA minis to share but that will be tomorrows post - don't want to spoil you all :) Oh and Doc if you are reading this they are based on coins not GW bases... ;)

All these DA minis iv'e painted recently have really brought back my enthusiasm for this period and i have started painting my own minis for Darkest Africa rather than specifically to sell. I have started on some British Askari that will form the core of a British force. I also have some Germans to fight them that i will start basing up.

I am known for my hopping from project to project and in my opinion it keeps everything fresh and interesting. The hobby is about having fun and if you are not having fun painting and gaming a certain period / subject - move on to something that does excite you.

Theres my little nugget of hobby genius for the day...

Cheers

Rob

DA Hunter

Hi all,

More Foundry Darkest Africa today, this time a hunter / guide type character. Really enjoyed painting this guy, his eyes and features have been sculpted to make him look worried, perhaps he just stumbled upon a pride of lions? I enjoy working with these muted tones and think they came out appropriately. Again, this guy will appear on eBay soon with others that i have in the pipeline. I have also based some on coins as i am aware that some people are not fond of the GW style bases.

Also found a few more minis that will be destined for eBay: Foundry old west, GW Characters for Fantasy and 40k, Artizan Thrilling Tales and some Copplestone sculpts to name a few. Hopefully they will get me the funds to support my Warmachine addiction! :)

I find myself with a bit of free time over the next few weeks so hopefully their will be regular updates and pics and i will provide links to any auctions for those who fancy a look.

Cheers

Rob

Darkest Africa Character

Hi all,

The weather is finally better but i am struggling with my camera skills so bear with me until i can get some better shots.

I've decided to dig out a few more Foundry and Copplestone minis to paint alongside other projects. These will be for sale through eBay in the next few weeks as i have a Warmachine buying list as long as my arm that i need the fund :)

So today i have a Foundry Darkest Africa mini for you. A simple sculpt as most of them are, but lots of character. This particular chap could be useful as a salty captain for a steamboat? If you are interested in buying him before eBay then drop me an email.

I'm still working on a lot of Warmachine / Hordes minis which i'm enjoying. Really looking forward to the release of Warmachine: Wrath (the new book and releases) in June. Some tasty new models have been previewed, hence why i am selling minis on eBay again...

More pics when i sort my camera skills

Cheers

Rob
