The 19th Punjabis Regiment
« on: January 28, 2021, 03:47:19 PM »
We're marchin' on relief over Injia's sunny plains,
   A little front o' Christmas-time an' just be'ind the Rains;
   Ho! get away you bullock-man, you've 'eard the bugle blowed,
   There's a regiment a-comin' down the Grand Trunk Road;
       With its best foot first
       And the road a-sliding past,
       An' every bloomin' campin'-ground exactly like the last;
       While the Big Drum says,
       With 'is “rowdy-dowdy-dow!”—
       “Kiko kissywarsti don't you hamsher argy jow?”
From Route Marchin' by Rudyard Kipling

Great figures from Copplestone!

Great job on these, what an awesome project! You’re inspiring me to paint my Russians for actions against on the Grim and other parts of Asia.

 @Dining Room Battles, would you mind sharing your color pallet on these Indian troops?

Here you go:

1. Primed Flat Black.
2. Flesh: Base was Vallejo (V) Dark Flesh, the GW Ratskin Flesh or whatever it is called now(OWICN) and then a wash of GW Flesh Wash OWICN (Yep, my age is showing.).
3. Uniform and turban base is V Green Ochre and then MSP Buff.
4. Belt, Leather straps, webbing, bayonet scabbard and boots are V Leather Brown.
5. Magazine pouches are V Flat Brown. Realistically they should probably be Leather Brown but I wanted some variety amongst my browns.
6. Pack/Blanket roll is V Olive Green.
7. Canteen is V Olive Green with V Leather Brown straps.
8. Canvas bag on the left hip V Olive Green. I did two coats.
9. Rifle wood is V Mahogany Brown.
10. Metal parts on rifle are GW Iron Breaker OWICN highlighted with V Silver.
11. Top of turban and fabric flat is V Flat Red highlighted with GW Blazing Orange OWICN.
12. Puttees are V Flat Brown and then the strips are painted with V Green Ochre.
13. Bayonet V Silver and the bayonet handle is V Flat Black.
14. Buttons on magazine pouches V Gold. I first tried V Bronze but I could not seem the detail at "gaming" distance.
15. Chevrons background painted first with V Flat White and the actual chevron painted with Flat Red.

Take care,
Neil
