Noooo! Who can decide this? Is that a Lancaster AC? Where from? Need one desperately!
But my dad will disinherit me if I won't vote for the traktor!

The Lanchester (which probably never was shipped to India) is HLBSC.
The tower is converted to fit a Copplestone BoB British officer.

The 13th Gurkha Rifles (Duke of Nutherland's Own) are as follows
8 charging from Eureka converted with new kukris.
10 marching from copplestone
1 Coplestone officer.
5 scouts (on the ledge), four from West Wind one form Pulp.
The sherpas and wallas are from Copplestone and West Wind.

The baktrian camels are Copplestone (new cargo on two), Ebob and Foundry.
The indian elephant is Ebob.
The hindu swami by the shiva shrine is a Artizan figure.

All my skihks and lancers are still in the prep phase... :-(

HLBSC? Rats, I should have ordered one together with my AT, thought it was to small. But in this picture it looks just about the right size.
BTW - could you do a comparison pic opf the Copplestone/Eureka-Gurkhas?

I told a black lie, it is a Old Glory UK model. The AC's scale is near enough. The Copplestone British officer (which is standing in the tower) are awfully big though. Bigger than the Copplestone Gurhas and bigger still than the Eureka ones.

I think it is considered bad form to post additional pics during an ongoing round so it will have to wait till it is over.

Yours is a very tough act to follow. The detailing in the gun turret interor plus the pompom are fantastic. I was hoping to get pair with some talentless lump and I get you!? Alex, is this how you treat your moderators? ;-)

Awesome work Hammers!   Where did you get the shrine?

Wally: the Shiva (Kali?) statue is from the Ostasiatiska Museet, the museum shop, in Stockholm where they sell all kinds of asian brique-ā-braque.

The hill faces are injected foam pieces from a toy display maker in the US which I bought on ebay a couple of years ago.

Both entries are great but my vote definately goes to the Lightning Cannon, not least for showing me what I can finally do with that Atlantis tractor in my bits box.

Who makes the infantry used, are they Perry Sudan figs?

Yes indeed, but from the old Foundry range! Splendid figures as well.
