Photos of Completed 28mm Masai Warriors, 26MAY17

Here are photos of my completed 28mm Masai Warriors.

The army is 84 figures.  All Foundry.  All bloody expensive.  See and weep.

I'm finally done with my 28mm Darkest Africa projects after six months of painting in time for a local gaming con in June 2017....

Mid-May 2017 reading...

I've read the following books this past week:

1)  Empire of the Summer Moon.  I'm on page 131 of the book.  Bloody history of the American Southwest and the Comache raiders...

2)  Green Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson.  Getting into the terra-forming and political ramifications of the settlement of Mars in the late 21st century....

3)  Such Men as These by Sears.  More about US Naval aviators in the Korean War....

4)  The Long Way Home by Sabrina Chase.  Interesting story about a US Air Force astronaut surviving as a mercenary pilot in the early 22nd century.  Back story of Terran war with a crab like alien species.....

Early May 2017 reading...

Here's what I've tried reading:

1)  Such Men as These by Sears.  I'm about 100 pages into a book on US Naval aviators during the Korean War.  Interesting and stirring read.

2)  I went back and read the 60 pages of Green Mars Friday morning by Kim Stanley Robinson.  Started out in the outlawed colony under the South Polar Cap.  Mars is being terraformed in spite of what people think.  Thought provoking read...
