Huzzah!

Marco (Riff-Raff) tells me my FT-17 has been posted

I collect the Chinese Cavalry this evening (possibly the rest of the infantry too) and i have cleaned up the irregular cavalry, characters and support weapons.

Home stretch methinks

Thumbs up! pics!

Bugger! I forgot that i've still to do the armoured train 

[H.M.Stanley]

Gents,

I need help with colours for Tibetan irregular cavalry. I'm guessing fairly neutral colours/earth tones but pointers would be welcome

Thanks

Train? Thank God I don't plan to do any train.
However I want a railway line in my next scenario.
Still undone...
The only part of the (Trans-Manchurian) railway line I've already nearly finished is... a coal pile

Well, if you're not using it old son, send it over 

Seriously, that looks really well.

How are the RCW/Chinese coming on Patrice?

Assuming that you own a copy of "Setting the East Ablaze", Ignatieff's Tibetan's are prominently featured on the cover, and well in one or two more shots in the book.  Or at least that's what I am using as a painting guide.

It's cat litter. I don't know if it would burn well in a steam engine

I am still painting...

A good point well made. I shall consult the oracle 

[coggon]

My pleasure.  I am currently working on painting a dozen of them myself.   They've been sitting there on the table for almost a year and I am have grown weary of them mocking me.

So, as one colour-blind person (to another), what colours are you using? 

[coggon]

I will check when I get home.  Don't have them with me at work

I collect the Chinese Cavalry this evening ...

FT-17 has arrived (and rather splendid it looks too) and i've taken delivery of rather flashy Chinese Cavalry. The rest of my figures have gone to the painting fairies ... 

[H.M.Stanley]

The Trench Brooms, Dare to Die and Chinese Cavalry are back with me and being based 

[H.M.Stanley]

Now, the FT17, the Chinese "four colour" camouflage system or a green/grey. Both, i think, would be correct. One would look better than the other and i suspect i know which you'll suggest 

Anyway, a lovely model which is now based and undercoated
