As we end the year we have ended up with 7 sculpts,2 KNIL 1870's,3 KNIL 1890's and 2 Acehnese.I was hoping for 10 sculpts but came up a little short as real life interferes  :-[.I know in a couple of months I would like to commission at least 2 Acehnese in combat poses and another Dutch 1870's.I of course would like to get some Dutch native troops.The process is slow for me but I'm not giving up.I really thought we would get more support from the Netherlands but it is what it is.All the best.

Lovely work from Steve. Esoteric periods are difficult to bring new folk into the fold. Hang in there as I'm sure in time more interest will pique folks interest.

Thanks for sharing.

All the best,

Helen
Best wishes,

Marginally interested in this range (only found out about the 19th conflicts in this area earlier in the year), even just for a mini painting project they're lovely.

I think they are the same but not 100 % sure.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korps_Marechaussee_te_voet

Received my first figures today and was happy with them.The casting was excellent,details were very good.I'm commissioning the rebel leader Teukuh Umar next.I'm hoping to start getting the figures in combat action poses hoping to increase interest. Probably will be getting a couple more Acehnese done after Umar than go back to the Dutch.
