I also Vaguely remember the TV series, and do think they should re-do it. Afterall how many times have they done Robin Hood for example.<br /><br />I shall now look for that TV series on Youtube, I remember it as being black and white so that dates us both. <br /><br />Thanks Mate I appreciate being reminded.Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430216265579762068.post-90026657635569680312015-04-07T02:39:05.123-07:002015-04-07T02:39:05.123-07:00I always liked the Leatherstocking Tales, though s...I always liked the Leatherstocking Tales, though some of them were hard going even for me (I'm not dyslexic). Also I have fond memories of TV series like "Hawkeye the Hunter" from my youth. At least, that's what I thought it was called, but I cannot find any such reference on Google :-( .

But as I have no desire to get the plastics (at this stage) I will just keep shovelling lead in an attempt to lower the mountain.<br /><br />Wargaming really is like a stopped clock.

It did stand to reason though than any race that had been deprived of "Unnatural" colours might well aspire to them. As you also see in some African countries.<br /><br />I am delighted that you approve and your comment alone might push me to do a few more sooner rather than later.<br /><br />Cheers Mate.Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430216265579762068.post-55277953547944043912015-04-07T00:19:49.574-07:002015-04-07T00:19:49.574-07:00Indian survivors.

Nice to see some proper fighters! ;)<br />They look really good, Clint! The purple shirt is really nice too! Don't worry about the color much as my folk love bright colors and can still hide in the woods! ;)<br />Most of the tribes used bleached/whitened attire for important ceremonies and celebrations. Like pure driven snow. Think of it as "Sunday best"! For war it was leather gaiters and moccasins used daily in hunting and such. The cloth was mended or replaced when worn out and usually the everyday cloth was a bright or rich color(s) the individual liked. Hope that helps!<br />Now gather the lads and clout somebody with a club! ;)david bromleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15373599516429004062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430216265579762068.post-20366405985809373092015-04-06T15:02:49.207-07:002015-04-06T15:02:49.207-07:00Lovely job Clint Nice colour choices.
