Dutch KNIL 25mm for 1880s-- Indonesia.

[juergen c. olk]

25mm Dutch for Aceh etc.. wars..in Indonesia. Mainly  ''RAFM'' conversions from their Riel Rebellion line w/Minifigs and Frontier thrown in and Irregular Elepants . Did these back in 1980s when nothing was there for Dutch.

Juergen they are very nice!...their overall effect, in my opinion, it's better than minis for that theatre made today..you also did an accurate uniform research...by the way, how do you achieved , in 1980, to do their native opponents ?..maybe with Frontier Moros?
we have same soft spot for "out of the beaten path" colonial armies and conflicts and i like also your Old School kind of approach...i was so stupid to sell or just give away quite a few of Frontier, Falcon, Pass of the North, Iron Brigade   and Ral Partha  colonials as i just considered them obsolote when "new"  over detailed 28mm came out   and i really regret that impulsive choice that replaced and dismissed so many little gems bought, with great difficulties, from USA.

I had a few Dutch and Acehnese sculpted by Steve Barber Models, I couldn't afford to get more done. They are for sale at SBM.  https://www.stevebarbermodels.com/store/Aceh-Wars-c36555085

If only the glue holds and all is properly stored, I expect my miniatures to be around one thousand years after I am gone and forgotten. 

Nice and shows the longevity of well cared for miniatures.
