WW2 Indian Army

I acquired these figures last year and was not quite sure what to do with them.  I have decided to paint them to represent Indian soldiers serving in th Middle East, although they could be used in the Far East and Northwest Frontier:

Riflemen:



Vickers Team:
Support weapons, Boys Anti-tank Rifle, 2" Mortar and Bren LMG.
I used a quick paint method of a few block colours, a sepia wash and a bit of highlighting. I have some more riflemen on the paint table. I have no idea what make they are, but they are quite nice castings.

    The look a bit like Raventhorpe. I rather like them!

      Raventhorpe, not a company that I have had dealings with before.

      I assume that Raventhorpe figures are no longer produced? I would like to find some officers and a few other figures.
