Found a bit of spare time to tidy up the scratches on these delhis- these were painted waay back in 2008/9. I have 3 more who need more substantial repairs, they had cast on standards and teh standards have snapped off.

This time with attachment. Of course Star Wars fans know that attachment is not the Jedi way

Thanks for the book recomendations Trev but for whatever reasons I have lost interest in military history . I am having too much fun reading Robert E Howard at the moment

attached is an infantry command stand ( I think given the size of the base I ought to have been more creative) plus the Kazan the regimental cooking pot of the Janissaries. I painted that a long time ago, it had suffered a bit in storage and needed a little tidy up. I had been tempted to strip the figures but I think the standard is acceptable.

Im using the same colour choices for the rest of the Spahis, I feared they might be a little garish but they contrast ith the Poles

Love the colours and lovely shading on the robes etc. I think it works to make them look distinct 👍.

As far as I am concerned for this period especially the Eastern and Moslem armies you can never be too bright or garish. The brighter the better

Ottoman shield recovered at the siege of Vienna . I think I will attempt to replicate this

Excellent work George

2 more garish Spahis, in soap green and violet. I attempted to do the yellow circles but my patience and skill were not up to the task

Latest Spahi joins the unit

Just two left and the unit will be finished.

More nice additions. Continue to love the colour choices

Spahis are now finished. see below photos of the whole unit from front and back and the entire Ottoman cavalry force. 12 Spahis , 12 delhis, 12 Akincis. I also have 18 Janissaries. Not enough for a skirmish force but at the moment I have sated my thirst for the 17th century and feel a need to paint something else

Excellent stuff George

You're really motoring along nicely

The unit looks great all together - a tidy force to start with 👍
