This is great news to me as Pontoonier seems to be more of a hobby than a business and don't reply to customer inquiries.

As the proverb goes, all things are improved with bacon, monkeys and gurkhas, so order sent!

Good find there. I just sold my Gurkhas off in part because I didn't think I'd be able to get more! You won't regret it Hammers. The figures are great!

[M Blakey]

great find just want to see some pics before i buy

[Aaron]

I have a few blurry shots of the Gurkhas including a comparison shot with some Old Glory here: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?action=gallery;su=user;cat=197;u=520

Somewhere on LAF is a thread with a link to pictures of greens I believe.

They are Paul hicks sculpts which is all I need to know.

[M Blakey]

What conflict (apart from Burma) would these be suitable for? Northwest Frontier? China?

[Calimero]

I think these are some of the figures available; http://s172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/paulhicks1975/?start=120

… and those are clearly marked as Pontoonier Miniatures greens; http://s172.photobucket.com/albums/w15/paulhicks1975/?start=120

Hope that help

I'm sorry but the phrase British Infantry Mustache Command sent me into fits of giggles.

I take it that British Infantry Clean Shaven Command represents the leadership of their hated foes in this new Victorian take on the alt-history British Civil War thing.

They are intended for the third Anglo-Burma war in 1885, so I'd say NW Frontier would be fine.

Calimero, those are indeed them.

Plnkes, I believe the War for Facial Hair Equality (the prequel to the VBCW) source book will be out this fall.

You'll see some of the Pontoonier figures I painted for Sterling Moose. He wanted them in Home Service scarlet rather than kahki but the figures are gorgeous!

I wouldn't mind replacing my Bicorne infantry with Pontoonier sculpts some day.

@Aaron: Nicely done on the Gurkhas! I think the sculpts look nicer than my Foundry Gurkhas.

Hmmm.... maybe a SECOND battalion of Gurkhas? ;^)

[Svennn]

I tried so hard to get me some of these in the past and now they are around I do not have the funds to re-instate the project

Now, that's a neat idea for a VSF unit... or two
