Funny Little Wars - British

 I have been really busy recently, which has distracted me from my current projects.  A friend gave me his collection of 20mm Russo Japanese war figures.  They are mostly Jacklex and a large portion were owned and painted by Jack Alexander.  There are three armies; the Japanese, the Russians and a Red army for the Russian Revolution.  My time has been taken up sorting them out and basing them to suit my playing rules.

I did however manage to sort out a British battalion for my 'funny little wars' project.  These are Britains Highlanders in tropical dress.  I haven't done much to them, other than paint the bases a sandy colour:

I also painted a test figure.  This is a Irregular miniatures 54mm colonial Sepoy.  He looks rather good and I am thinking of getting some more to create anoth battalion:

  1. The Sepoy is a nice figure. Nice and unfussy, just right for FLW I'd have thought.
    I would be keen to see photos of the Jacklex figures.

  2. The Jacklex collection is a nice one to get, I must admit I like Jacklex stuff, pity it's now gone. The Britains look lovely and the Irregular miniatures sepoy looks the part, nice mini and very well painted.
