After much pondering and thinking and trying different figures I've finally finished a unit of 24 x 28mm Cavalry for Mesopotamia.

These boys are Great War Miniatures with head swaps from Woodbine Design Company and represent the Cheshire Yeomanry who fought in Palestine in WW1.

Lots of pics on the blog

I have the Minifigs East Ablaze Turkish Cavalry to finish of (done 12 of 24) I have only found these  and the Irregular  miniatures  ones, so will probably do some of those next.

Lovely work.

Have you picked out your Victor McLaglen and Boris Karloff figures for your "Lost Patrol" scenario?
