Completely lost impetus with this project, not that I am doing anything else in its place mind, just not getting much done at all. Finally managed to find time to finish a couple more.

Did the khaki a completely different way for a variation from the others and the flag is a complete figment of my imagination

Smashing painting, khaki works a treat.

if you don't produce quantity you certainly get quality ;-)

:-*
Very nice!
Love the horse. :)
-
Nice figment, very nice.
--- and curse you for reminding me that I'm not working on my own Indian Mutiny masses --- :'(
-
Nice pair Svennn ;)
Now tell me - I recognise Mike Owen's style in the figures, but is that a Mutineer Miniatures horse? Only there's something about the pose and proportions that makes it look a lot like a Perry horse :?
-
Very nice work, well done! You'll soon be back on track, so chin up. The flags are really useful too, your 'imagination' is obviously first class.

Really like the effect on the uniforms.

It's not an E-Bob sculpt is it?
-
Nice Work Sven!
-
I wish my imagination was that developed... :)
-

It is : the Mutineer horses are licensed E-Bob sculpts.
-
Definitely Peachy ;)
Love the colour of the horse and the Khaki ;D
-
Love the horse,spot on,the rider is good too. Cracking I say :)
-

Thats what all the girls say, like the one who said "why do they call you Fast Svennn". I pulled it out and she said "oh my thats impressive, will it hurt?" and I said "did it?" ;)
Back on topic. Thanks for the comments chaps (I'm sure Gluteus liked them too ;D) It is indeed a Mutineer gee-gee and I was under the impression they are Ebob too.
The layout of the flag is authentic, I just have no idea if these colours were ever used - I doubt it tbh.

The layout of the flag is definitely in keeping with HEIC regulations. It is way too large for a cavalry guidon, but wargamer's licence may apply here for aesthetic reasons (I think the League of Augsburg lads were among the first to deliberatly use oversized cavalry flags for no other reason than they look better that way).
As for it being carried in the field, it's unlikely : HEIC cavalry units had been following British army practice since at least the 1830's and never took their flags with them on campaign. So this is historically wrong but aesthetically right ;)

Just how I like it ;)

Bugger, was in a bit of a rush when I managed to guess the correct horse sculptor and managed to erase the part of the message that said something like:
"Great khaki shades and the horse is beautifully done etc etc"
The flag looks good to me, but possibly slightly too big for use on horseback? NB This is coming from someone who couldn't get that amount of fine detail on one at 54mm lol
I don't think I've ever seen a Sikh irregular cavalry unit with a flag before, so have no idea how big they should be. Ignore me. Yours is spot-on!
The Sikhs have always been my favourite colonial troops, so yes I do like these very much :)

The things we do just because we like our toys so bright and oh so pretty...
Not that we won't burn forever in the flames of hell for this, mind you : lectures on the proper use of the bricole in the age of Napoleon will be held five times a day in the fourth fiery circle, and the damned are reminded that attendance is mandatory :D
