Stanley in Africa
I'm back after some radio silence with more 1/72 scale plastics. I also decided to start a new blog, as the old one is a bit of a mess. With the new blog I want to focus on late XIX century (roughly 1865-1900 period), but I might (and probably will ☺) jump to Napoleonics and other periods. With this post I want to present to you a conversion based on an figure found in HaT 8268 Askari set, with some parts from Italeri 6050 Zulu Wars British Infantry set, depicting the legendary explorer Henry Morton Stanley . Above was roughly inspired by below photograph: Stanley 1872, Smithsonian Libraries and Archives, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons Unfortunately, I could not find a suitable figure for Stanley's adopted son Kalulu , so I painted one of Hat 8269 Ruga-Ruga figures instead. Thanks for reading!
