Needed: Generic Arab Gun Crews in 28mm

[RichBliss]

Learned Gentlemen and Ladies-

I am currently working on a project involving the outfitting of two armed dhows.  As such I find myself in need of gun crews. In particular, vaguely Arab appearing personages in turban/skull cap and light clothing.  Does anyone have suggestions where such may be acquired?

Hi Rich, how have you been?

I've outfitted my Dhows with various gunners made from Old Glory Ansar and Sons of the Desert Arabs as well as Foundry Zanzibari and Pathan gunners. The Old Glory Ansar/ Dervish with out the spears in hand or the swords cut off look good as they are in light clothing and sandals. The same goes for the Perry plastic Ansar troops, very easy to convert and put tools in their hands. Just paint them up how you want. I will find and post some pics for you. You can also check out my blog for pics. For starters here's a crew made from OG Dervish spearmen.

This pic has a Perry plastic fig with skull cap, a converted OG spearman,
and an Askari Minis laborer, and an OG leader as crewmen.

Foundry has a nice set, but more pricey than OG and plastics...

Very true, but the Foundry one's look great! I've got 2 of those Foundry crews as well. I'll send pics when I'm able.

If you only want the crew from those Foundry zanzibarri, I might be interested in buying one of the cannons off you - PM me if interested?

Here's pic on my blog of those gun crews painted very generically for my recent Kaiser's Revenge convention game!
