Bored us?  Heck, you've saved me needing to buy another Osprey book (if they have an appropriate one anyway).  All I have to do is read your posts (a bit late tonight). 

And, as others said, nice work on the figures - good to see them 'on parade'.

Lovely work

I really like these. Very nice job.

The second lot of artillery uniforms are rather splendid, I must say. Nice change from all the white in this army.

Thanks the second set of Artillery are based on the Palace Guard in this photo below. It was a toss up between red or dark blue. It seems that the palace guard infantry wore red shirts/jackets and the lancer bodyguard wore dark blue jackets in the end I plumped for red for the Artillerymen.

I really like these. Very nice job.

 
Thanks

Thanks knowing how much I have to dig around to find out information on some of the Darkest Africa projects I want to do I always figure someone else might find the information I turn up useful so i should share it.

Lovely work 

Thank you.

Wow, fantastic stuff, Diablo Jon!  It's like a one-two combination of super-useful written & illustrated historical reference info on one hand and inspiringly well-pained and based miniatures on the other!  Sincere thanks!

Well done, love them.
Really great looking  lancers.

Thanks Guru I know a lot of the stuff that interests me is pretty obscure so I feel like if I find some interesting information out I should share it just in case anyone else also suffers from the Must Collect Obscure Armies syndrome

Really great looking  lancers.

Thanks I would be lying if I didn't say I was pretty chuffed with how the lancers turned out.
