Gents,

Some Masai huts for your viewing ‘pleasure'..that's an over statement if you know what a Masai hut looks like :-)

Anyway, no pics of these are online so this post may prove useful as it shows how they look on table.

Cheers

"I did find a few pics online"

I think I confused my point…I meant the Monolith Design Masai huts…not the real ones :-)


As you can see though, there is much variation.

As long as you used genuinie Masai Cattle Dung you are fine. But seriously they look great. Personally I would dry brush a little tan or reddish brown on them. The Masai apply dung quite frequently to repair holes, etc. When I was in Masailand in Northern Tanzania the huts I saw appeared a bit more reddish brown. But that is one cool village you made, great textures on the huts. What game are you playing?

Thanks guys,

Maybe a splash of red would break them up a bit – good suggestion ;-)

"What game are you playing?"

I'm playing our own adaptations of Studio Tomahawk's Muskets & Tomahawks for the Darkest Africa or more generally Colonial period….they work really well.

You can see the first discussion on this concept.

..that should keep you busy for a bit! :-)

PS – I think the rhino is not the meal but after one!

Wow, very jealous. AWESOME looking! btw, I checked Amazon for pure Masai cattle dung for you but no luck, sorry, lol.

One man's dung is another man's building material!
