These figures have been a project on the back burner for many months, and I have finally finished them off. The bulk are from the Scruby Crimean range (now Historifigs), however, I felt that a mounted officer would be nice to have. He is made from John Cunningham Turkish cavalry conversion, mounted upon a Douglas Miniatures horse. I also decided to make a standatd bearer. He is converted from a Minifigs S Range French artillery man, with a new head and a scratch built standard. The crescent on top of the pole is from scrap:
Nice to see some Scruby's - good work!
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed, Bob!
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely Bob. You're making me question the all white uniforms of my Turkish/Egyptian infantry.
ReplyDeleteScruby lovely simple figures, great paint job, nice to see my Turkish cavalry conversion, looks the part, well done
ReplyDeleteConrad, blue uniforms look beeter !!!
cheers Old John
Stunning stuff mate. Mr Kinch, white is the tropical uniform for 1882 in Egypt. The blue uniform is for winter I think. It is always winter in the Crimea.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to purchase figures from the Crimean range of Douglas Miniatures ?
ReplyDeleteYes, Old John (John Cunningham) can produce almost the entire Douglas Miniatures 20mm range (plus many other older recast figures), as well as a number of conversions to fill the gaps. If you drop him a quick email I am sure he will send his lists. His email address is:
