There are some wonderful conversions in that group.  Are some of them based on plastic figures and if so who makes them?

Ah - cancel my question I went back and re-read your write ups and have found the answers. :-X :-X

Amazing and very characterful conversions all of them, congrats!

Thanks Chaps.

Hu Rhu the details of the individual figures are on the blog, quite a lot of different ranges used, this particular figure is a Gripping Beast Arab Light cavalryman, using the ottoman torso and Turk scalplock head and adding a meal arm with pistol.

Another super update.
I have a number of Poles,
thanks to your thread,
 they keep moving up in the painting line.
May be, some day they will be at the top! :)

Following this thread and your blog avidly.  I've always been interested in Esatern European Renaissance and this is providing great inspiration.  Kepp it coming.

We do what we must to keep the enthusiasm up. I like your effects acheived with the nail-art transfers. I got some to try on 16th C. Gendarmes but hadn't considered glamming up Eastern cavalry with them.

Some more Pancerni with nail art on the way, I am also considering using the nail art for my Sikh armoured cavalry.
