28mm Punjab Infantry NWF 1890s?

Cheers...I'll post more images soon.
Have you seen/got the OG Dismounted Indian Cavalry?
I have never seen them and need a Guides Cavalry Unit (Foundry) with dismounts.
If they are good sculpts I'll waive the usual OG problem; 30 of them in a pack, 21 of which are surplus to requirements......

There is a photo of them here: http://www.oldgloryminiatures.com/proddetail.asp?prod=CNB-11

Unfortunately not a very good photo. It looks like they're fairly typical OG sculpts. If I had the time or inclination I think I'd probably convert nicer sculpts but (semi-intended pun) it is horses for courses

Thanks Lowtardog
Those heads look OK to me; it may be conversion time....

Sorry if i return on this matter..but this coffe time conversation with you and other NWF experts really enjoyed me...i suppose that the only Latin fan (crazy people) of NWF are me and my friend Piero ...
in fact those woodbines heads seem very useful for conversions..i already selected in my wish list Indian Hindu heads (suppose they are punjab type heads) and Wolseley Helmet heads (to use for late 19 c. British Officers in NWF/Sudan)  plus Senegalese, Fusiliers Marins and French Pith Helemt for similar use...but do you think they could be ok, as concern size,  for converting Foundry Indians and similar scaled minis that belong to my collection?
regards
Pier

Thanks for the image link; seen it before and it is a bad shot
I'm up for conversions though Hobbit
What would you use for the dismounted Guides Cav? Woodbine Hindu section?

[Hobbit]

I'll have a think on it.

However I wanted to share this link: http://www.britishbattles.com/north-west-frontier-india/seige-relief-chitral.htm

I've done more than my fair share of reading on the NWF but about half of the pictures on the linked webpage are new to me.

And another image that is new to me:http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/yourpaintings/paintings/a-mounted-sowar-in-drab-full-dress-guides-cavalry-182854

Hmm, Ok, having had a think on it and a bit of a Google I cant think of an obvious donor figure. There are so many  minor differences between the WW1 figures and Guides that you may as well use something like NWF Sikhs...

If you're really, really into your conversions you could hack apart cavalry figures and re-pose them but that is way beyond my modelling skill. The conversion suggestion was probably a case of opening mouth before engaging brain

I think it will be OG...

[Hobbit]

Of no relevance to your latest query, but I've just spotted these chaps who I'd not seen before: http://newlinedesigns.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=521_522&products_id=6948

It looks like they're armed with Lee-metfords

Thats a find Hobbit
Many thanks
I had missed those......
