S Range Colonials

In the second half of last year one of my projects was my British and Empire S Range Colonial Force.

My main colonial armies are Jacklex but I was able to assemble a reasonable quantity of the S Range figures which I also like.

The standard British Colonial infantry lend themselves to variety through painting of different uniforms - so here we have standard British, Royal Marine Light Infantry, and Rifle Brigade versions.

Then you have to have some Highlanders

Sikhs

and Gurkhas

The five Gurkhas to the right are the S Range figures and the one on the left the Minifigs 20mm figure, which I prefer. I have fuller units of both types but I need to take more photos.

Finally you always need some mountain artillery

I don't currently have any S Range British Cavalry but I do have quite a few of these Minifigs 20mm lancers, as well as Indian counterparts - I'll just have to fund them before I can photgraph them.

Finally a rather stylish Minifigs 20mm Highlander officer.

Franco Prussian War German Artillery

Artillery pieces are by B&B and RAFM. The B&B Krupp gins have split trails, which I don't think are accurate, but I haven't been able to confirm this.

I acquired an Ebay lot of about 25 Wurttemberg gunners hence the over representation of their artillery arm - the first two rows of guns (and first four rows of gunners) in the picture above. In fact the Wurttembergers were the only German in the FPW range.

Prussian and Bavarian gun crews (Bavarians the middle of the three crews). These figures are conversions now available from John Cunningham. Most of the guns in this photo are RAFM. They have single trail carriages but the moulds are obviously well past their prime, with parts missing.

PFP 10s and 11s: Wutemberg artillerymen, firing gun and carrying shells

It seems a strange choice just to have two gunners in the Prussian range and for them both to be Wurtembergers. These again need rebasing. The figures cam,e with british Napoleonic field pieces so I need to replace those. I have also pictured them with the guns removed to provide a better view of the figures.

I do have some RAFM Krupp guns but I'm not sure what would be a good solution for these guys.
