Hi, I've recently made a list with the prices and manufacturers where you can buy native porters for Darkest Africa.

I hope you find it useful.

You missed Eureka Miniatures – 10 'slaves' bound & loaded plus 8 'plantation workers' with loads in raggedy vaguely European clothes and a number of 'Middle Eastern' civilians, all with male & female models.

Reviresco have 2 sets, 5 'Safari' bearers & 4 'Bearers #2', again a mix of male & female.

Also omitted are Askari miniatures Safari porters from their 'Pulp Adventure' range; bearers in early 20th c. style almost-uniform jackets, a safari camp manager in turban, and several gun-bearer figures.

They also have some suitable figures among their Arab/Egyptian bearers and labourers.

Thanks for the comments! I've added pictures of the miniatures mentionned except for the eureka slaves as they aren't porters but chained slaves. I've also not added the blue moon ones as they are not 28mm what i forgot to mention in the topic.

Best regards
