Good reference for the Ottomen uniforms down the years.
Looks to be worth the wait Roger.
Cheers,

I just need to learn to read Italian but having said that the picture captions are in English. I already have one of the other books in the series and it's very good.

All base coated, next step is to begin the shading and highlighting process.
I've also dug some more of these out and the plan is to do a small dio (7 or 8 figs.) based on the Ottoman advance to Vienna in 1683. I've been thinking of doing a 30mm dio for ages but couldn't decide on a subject but this has caught my imagination so I'll give it a go.

Super work Roger...... even before shading and highlighting!!!!
I'm looking forward to the other 7/8 figures that you have whetted my appetite for.
All the best,
Keith

Very nice Roger,
Great uniforms and horse furniture......lots of colour to come.

The variation in clothing should help keep the interest levels up long enough to see this one through to the end.

Really looking forward to seeing this scene develop.
I see that there's to be a major display of flats at Euro, looking forward to that.
Are you going?
Cheers
Derek

 

[billyturnip]

Thanks Derek. I've just ordered a box frame so there's no going back now.

I think I'm at sea for Euro but to tell the truth it's a long way to go and too expensive on my meagre salary.

Roger.

 

[smudger1960]

Ive never painted flats before Roger,but this looks a beautiful piece you've completed

Brian

 

[billyturnip]

It's not finished yet Brian but thank you very much. I will start a new thread as this will be part of a bigger scene of Ottoman troops marching to Vienna in 1683.

Roger.

 

[Helm]

Be a very interesting little set this Rog this might help for a couple of the ones you've shown

Steve

 

[billyturnip]

Thanks very much Steve. I'm just hoping the foot figs I've ordered are compatible size wise with the horsemen.
