Gurkhas

 Here are some 28mm Gurkha's of the Victorian period. They were painted for a friend, who gave me the flags to put on as well. I don't think the flags are historically correct, but they are what he wanted so who am I to argue. There are 8 figures in all including a couple of conversions (Not carried out by me). I think they are foundry miniatures from way back, but again I can't attest to that it's just my feeling about them, nothing more. I will say I did not enjoy painting them, well you can't enjoy everything, but they are done now. Just a quick coat of varnish and they can go back to him.
I took all the colours from various Internet sources so if they are wrong you'll have to forgive me. As I know my friend will.

I am very pleased with the results of the poll. I will close it a day early. No clear winner, with Pacific and Western Europe both getting the same number of votes, with Eastern Europe just one vote behind. North Africa/ Mediterranean just a single vote. I found that result the most surprising. I deliberately kept the far distant project very vague as I did not want it to influence the choice in voting. I shall still keep it close to my chest but strongly bear the results in mind.

Unrelated to the poll I have decided to build on my PBI success and start a second force. A force able to fight against my US infantry company. That being the case it would have to be Japanese or German, although I did look at doing a late war Russian force for the possibility of an alternative history, but quickly decided against it. So given that  I had a stalled FOW project of 2nd "Das Reich" SS Panzer Regiment I decided that was the way to go. More of this another day.

 

That's it for today, thanks for reading. I shall post again on Friday, all the best Clint.
