Turkish Line Infantry - Scruby

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:

  4. 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.

    1. Yes, 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:
