Completed 5th Punjab Cavalry Rissaldar Major

[Silversurfer]

Hi,
this 120mm figure from the Verlinden-Range I completed some time ago, but for my first entry here,
I think, it will be good enough. Hope, you like it.

I like it a lot Thomas.

I've been doing a lot of reading lately about the Indian Army for a flat project I am working on so your timing is perfect.

Hi Roger,

thank you. I think, the indian army is one of the most colourful armies of the late victorian epoche and my bookshelf grows more and more with books about this stuff. Sadly, there are only a few figures in all scales on the market.
But head up, let´s paint, what is aviable!

Cheers Thomas

Thomas, there's even less if you paint flats!
Looking forward to seeing more of your Indian Army figures.

Roger.

Roger, I´ve seen your flat indians on the HZ-Forum and here. Sometimes I paint flats too, so where can I get these flat indians?

Karl-Werner Reiger if you don't already know is good to order from, very fast and reliable in my experience.

On a related subject do you have the book India's Army by Donovan Jackson? I was thinking of getting it.

Good morning Roger,

thank you for the link to Rieger-Figures! I like the Gurkhas most. In my imagine, I see a little diorama with these Gurkhas storming a hillside fortification somewhere in India or Afghanistan.
No, I don´t have the book by Jackson. I heard about, it shall be very good but really expensive.

Greetings Thomas

Thomas that sounds like a good idea for diorama using the Gurkha's, I can see it my imagination too.

Actually the Jackson book isn't as expensive as you'd think, http://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/SearchResults?an=jackson&bt.x=0&bt.y=0&sts=t&tn=india's+armies

Hi Roger,

Great Deal! Once again, thank you!
