I'm ...Thanks for posting these (way back when). I'm in the market for 28mm Indians, so it's nice to see these Conquest models in color. I just finished reading a great book about the Delaware, David Zeisberger's <i>History of the Northern American Indians</i>. It's am 18th century journal of a missionary who lived with the Delaware for 20+ years. It's brilliant, you should check it out.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08759810100407996847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991076225884911243.post-37446532355600041972008-01-02T16:56:00.000+00:002008-01-02T16:56:00.000+00:00Giles, don't bother - those Indians look very cool...Giles, don't bother - those Indians look very cool! Their colourful appearance (those belts & bags are awesome) seems quite authentic to me - okay, owning just the Osprey-accounts (and being no American Native - like myron perhaps?), I'm no adept at this matter.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work!<BR/><BR/>Btw, your blog has inspired me to initiate my own AWI project. Should I say "thanks" or "darn"? ;)Sire Godefroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13278575582941391824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991076225884911243.post-18164417516847771862008-01-01T20:19:00.000+00:002008-01-01T20:19:00.000+00:00Er...thanks for such helpful comments.
