Thanks, fellas. John, living as I do out in between the sticks and the middle of nowhere, I don't get to see any of them fancy foreign paints (seriously, I've never seen a pot of Vallejo in me life, and don't know where to get any), so I have to make do with whatever GW pots the man at the model shop happens to have in (I'm not on the internet you see, it hasn't reached here yet). That said, after much experimenting, I have discovered that putting a bit of red together with a bit of white makes a workable pink. :) Gray Ghost: they are Brigade Games WWI Sikhs with their heads lopped off, replaced with African heads and then turbans clumsily fashioned from Green Stuff. Hopefully the turbans will look better on the next ones – I'm quite new at this converting and Greenstuffiying malarkey, and I'm learning as I go. |

…personally I miss the rains. Love the Masai. Looks like they are ready to go lion hunting :) |

Polynikes – Great stuff! There's a lot of patience on that table. |

By pure chance I just watched Out of Africa for the first time last night. Inspiring treatment of the film in miniature. |

Did you think about selling them speed, like Mickey Mouse did: link |

That is just beautiful stuff. I love Out of Africa, the movie and the book, and your figures really do justice to both. |

I saw the title of the post and thought "Naah, can't be…" Really great work. |

Well done. Amazing what you can do with a limited palette and I liked especially "his Master's Voice" and audience. Cheers,
Robert |

Pardon my ignorance, but why are two of the Masai levitating? |
| Plynkes | 20 Jun 2010 2:24 a.m. PST |
They are doing the adumu, the Masai jumping dance. There is a video of the dance later in that thread. I did make mine jump a bit higher than real Masai tend to though, a bit of artistic licence there. Just thought it looked better. |

see, this is just Hypocitical. I do not like these pictures. I do not find them inspiring. They do not fill me with the urge to cry 'beautiful!' "Wonderful!" "Bravo!" or ask what paint he used to get the particular result. I have been in the hobby for near 30 years. I cannot paint like that. I will never be able to paint like that. I feel only envy and self-loathing. And admit it – so do most of you. Pat |

Now THAT post made me laugh! Great stuff, Plynkes. The Masai paintjob is to die for! :) |
