Sudan WIP

Kind of all over the place not getting much of anything completed. Maybe by the end of the week, I can crush a command stand and the next 24 Deverishes.
 I never realized the the writing in the flags was white. Mine are one solid color. I will have to go back and correct it.
          I have some India troops on the table. Still milling over what uniform to give them. Or exactly What uniform would represent the widest body of troops.

Sudan project XI

          Finally got around to picking out the details and sealing these dudes. They have been kicking around for a better part of the month.

         I was not too interested in painting little diamonds. A thin red line on a dude here and here was about as good as it was going to get. Mostly because I am so smart, I based them before painting. Yep! Limits what could be done with out pulling them up.

Reading

          Finally plowed thru the Poison King. The first half of the book was great. He is a good story teller. Very entertaining. About the time you reach the pictures, it starts to drag. More so than most ancient books. It is not the author's fault. I am willing to bet the publisher wanted "X" number of pages. Which forced old boy to chart out fluff and then to repeat himself. All work and no fun make Mayor a dull boy.
         Finished! Go Strong into the desert. Great pictures. It reads well enough, but I could always put it down. Unlike the Poison King, I read until the sun chased me back inside or my ass got sore. Col. Snook's other books are much much better.
         Next up is, Dervish "the Rise and Fall of an African empire" by  Warner. This time a view from the dervish side.
