Muleteers are Willie , Guides Cavalry are Suren, Bengal lancers are old Foundry,
yes Ghrkhas are Eureka Miniatures.

by the way Nic at Eureka has on the 100 list Mahsuds truìibesmen for the 1920-30 era. I gave him years ago lot of informations, I hope they will be on sale soon

For the record, Bicorne miniatures had now released an 1896 colonial italian range, with infantry, askaris and bersaglieri :love:

That'd be the thing to push me over the edge into BoB, if they get released and if they indeed have weapons appropriate for the period. However, I notice they're listed in the 100 Club under 19th century, not 20th. Are you sure they'll be 1920-30 era?

Well after 3 or 4 years I cannot be sure, but the photos I gave to Nic are of Mahsuds of 1930 period, taken from NWF a Pictorial history and other illustrated books.
however the Mahsuds tribesmen has Lee-Enfield and ammo belt on shoulders. these should solve the problem.
why don't you try to give him an e-mail? probably he will put them on sale.
cheers

Super Stuff! Well done, thanks for sharing those pictures with us.

Shikari Sahib · « **Reply #14 on:** February 21, 2008, 11:27:10 AM »

Well what to say, thanks for your compliments.
or are you really polite???

I'll try to post some more in the next days.

Most of my collection start around 15-20 years ago so most of figures are really old. this is well documented by the style of paint.
I have some really old figs which are really painted as wargame figures . and not with modern paint techniques. which of course is better.
but I'm purchasing new figures as well when on the market.
unfortunately the new figs are no long painted by me as I have lost sight for so small little things,
Piero
