While I already built a first round of shops, I wanted the shopping district to feel a bit more bustling and chaotic, as is seen in these pictures from Bamako's street markets. As such, I picked up some street vendors and civilians from Eureka to compliment previous market elements I had from Ainsty and Fogou. For all the figures and cloth patterns, I tried as much as possible to use photos of actual people as references. The umbrellas did not come with the market sets, but were O-Scale items ordered off of eBay from China and repainted.
Fabric Trader
Jewelry and Cellphone Merchant
Food Vendors
Civilians/Shoppers.
The figures were really well sculpted and cast, and I think they really add a bit of life to the tabletop. Eureka has another set of 8 African civilians, so depending how much storage space I end of having for this project after painting the rest of my Christmas purchases, we might see more shoppers in the future.
