WIP Ottoman Sipahi 1500-1690.

You know that feeling when there is a figure that has been lurking in the grey army for awhile that suddenly jumps out and demands to be painted? All other projects are hold for this little 30mm figure from www.carl-zinnfiguren.de/

Nice one Rog should be very colourful this one

[billyturnip]

Cheers Steve, I can find very little in the way of ref. pics so a little imagination will be required. You watch I'll finish it and someone will pipe up with they didn't wear that colour etc. etc.

Another killer work in progress.

A very well engraved figure - whatever colours you use it should be a corker!

I think you'll find that they wore a white over robe thingy but under that any colour they wanted Rog. I too prepare to stand corrected

Thanks for the comments fella's. Cheers Steve, I was thinking white myself so we'll go with that.

That is a super casting Roger.
It will be a beautiful piece once you splashed a coat of paint on it.
Good start on the nag.....I like greys.
All the best,
Keith

Cheers Keith, I have a few from this series so might do a little vignette of marching sipahi.

Roger.

 

[Wings5797]

That would be quite a task but a great and colourful vignette.

I was just chatting to Richie lastnight about wishing I had the motivation to undertake larger projects (anything bigger than single fig. projects ). I might just have a look through the unpainted horde and go for it, it can't be any more difficult than recreating Rorkes Drift in 120mm and if a monkey can do it......

Only last week I was wondering what the Guys in the Midlands were dressing up in for a night down the Hagley Road.
Very smart Steve
Cheers,
