Just before we came away last week I finished two more figures for the Heart of Darkness project. They are gun bearers in my view, though one at least was from the Askari Character figures pack. I've fixed them on single figure bases so they can be added to any party of figures in a game as needed. Anyway, here they are ~
Wargames Foundry figures of course, so the sculpts are over 30 years old now but still wearing well in my opinion. A little fun with an AI generated setting ~
Back in the groove over the coming weekend I hope as there are several figures on the painting desk in various stages of completion. To end this short post, a few pictures of the P'doki village I made back in the 1990's which featured in the April and May 2000 editions of Wargames Illustrated.
The figures I managed to complete before the R&R trip to the South West posed next to the scratch built native village.

Pulp Figures damsel in distress will surely need rescuing from the clutches of King Bykalaizii m'Tuubi...
Splendid stuff. The village has seen a few actions over the years.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil! Yes, its suffered the occasional depredation over the years!
DeleteGreat looking figures. A very nice addition to your collection.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks!
DeleteLovely work David two more figures completed than I this week, but my Greeks are making some progress. The village has weathered well, mud and straw quite resilient ?
ReplyDeleteIt's lasted well as you say. Can't really beat the tried and tested materials.
DeleteExcellent additions there David and they do look rather cool/menacing in the AI generated setting:). Lovely work on the scratch built village, some thing one doesn't get to see a lot of these days, what with 3D printing and all that modern malarkey!
ReplyDeleteYou are right there SteveJ, scratch building a dying art maybe. So much is available off the cuff, but the satisfaction lies in creating something unique. Nowadays though I tend to modify/adapt MDF kits - see my Italian Wars builds for instance.
DeleteGreat new additions to your collection David!
ReplyDeleteThank you Christopher!
DeleteLovely work and indeed the venerable Foundry figures still stand the test of time. The village looks the part, lovely piece of modelling.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your positive endorsement Donnie, much appreciated.
