I used Foundry, Copplestone and North Star in my Africa collection. I have a picture of a line of native bearers that includes Foundry and North Star figures. While it is a distance shot, I can tell that it includes figures from both manufacturers and you can see that they look fine together (pic 42). I also a much closer picture of North Star's Lady Isobel Poppington standing with a group of Foundry figures, and she blends well with them (pic 75). You can see pictures 42 and 75 of my African Adventure Gallery at link

Thanks for the "Wow!" and good luck with your project. If you look to the right of my gallery of pictures, you will see a long write-up that will take you through what I used in putting my collection together. Richard

I've never seen that many painted flamingoes in one place before.

VERY fine collection.

Well War in 15 has one of the best Dark Africa photo pages I have ever seen and I go there often for inspiration for my own Darkest Africa projects. So yes the North Star line fits like a hand in a glove with the Foundry/Copplestone figures.
