More Turkish Infantry
These soldiers were a real joy to paint. Consisting of Minifigs S Range recasts from Old John, they are a mix of different ranges. The command group are from the S Range Turkish Crimean War range, while the soldiers are in fact S Range French Napoleonic Egyptian Infantry (F22). I am not keen on the infantry poses in the Crimean War series, which is why I went for these; besides, Egypt contributed several thousand troops to Turkey during the war and the uniforms appear correct. They probably should have a green flag, and I may produce one at a later stage. I really like these figures and I can feel the urge to purchase some more!

I used Humbrol paints for these figures, their gloss enamels.
ReplyDeleteA question that I cannot answer. I guess I just like the look!
ReplyDeleteI also think that gloss paint is more durable when figures are handles during a wargame.
