28mm Punjab Infantry NWF 1890s?

[smirnoff]

Does anyone know of any figures suitable for the Punjab Regiments, Bengal Infantry, in the 1890's gentlemen?
Got Foundry Guides.....

Foundry also make Sikh infantry both in their old NWF range: http://www.wargamesfoundry.com/our-ranges/colonial/north-west-frontier/north-west-frontier-best-sellers-collection-bcnw001/

and there are some in the Darkest Africa range: http://www.wargamesfoundry.com/our-ranges/darkest-africa/dark-continent-collection-bcda009/

If you're not especially fussy about armament and finer uniform details you can, of course, borrow some from the Perry's Sudan range.

Old Glory make some Indian infantry that are just about OK: http://www.oldgloryminiatures.com/proddetail.asp?prod=CNB-02

There are others out there but personally I think the sculpting is sub-par.

Empress have been threatening/promising a Chitral range for a good while now but seem to have been distracted by their Jazz Age range instead...if I keep on mentioning it maybe they'll get around to them...

I was going to suggest Perry Suran as well.

Copplestone also makes Indian Muslim and Sikh Infantry in their WWI range. The troops do have ammo cross-belts and magazine rifles, but the Lee Metford and Lee Enfield are similar looking in the magazine department.

Bicorne also produces Sikh and Bombay Infantry for their 2nd Afghan War line, and Eureka has Sikh Pioneers. Old Glory's figures have previously been mentioned. Their Sikhs are small compared to Foundry or Copplestone, but they paint up nice.

Thanks both, I should have been clearer; in addition to the Guides (and Gurkhas) I have the Sikhs, it's Hindi troops I'm after, can't find anything with the right headgear never mind equipment...
I've not seen the Woodbine Hindi heads; are they the correct setup for a conversion does anyone know?

Castaway Arts also has a nice range of Indian infantry. https://secure.iig.com.au/castawayarts/index.php?cmd=store

Thanks Lowtardog
Those heads look OK to me; it may be conversion time....

[Hobbit]

Yes, you should have been clearer 

[smirnoff]

Duly noted
I have put myself on latrine duties...

[Hobbit]

Well don't let it happen again and we'll say no more about it.

But in all seriousnes it is a gap in the limited ranges that are available.

[smirnoff]

Right, well that's the latrines dug and sorted
So...can you gentlemen illuminate me as to who produces the best 25-28mm Ammunition Mules in this scale?
And does anyone do a loaded mule that will work for the Sappers and Miners?
