The work detail is looking very nice.  :-*

Are the barrow boys pulp figures as well, I recognise the porters but not then.

Cheers

Three more poor devils...err, I mean dedicated porters of the of the Dogmeat Generals Logistics Corps.



I apologize for the particularly poor photography on these fellows. They were moving quickly to avoid local bandits. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Local Bandits are now on my painting table. My resolve to switch to Darkest Africa has been tested and fallen short.

Those poor porters, working for Dogsmeat, but they are still looking good - as is the bridge.

Thanks fellows! Here are the last two of the Dogmeat Generals' Logistics Corps for the foreseeable future. These are the poor bastards on punishment detail. For those of you uneducated foreign devils that can't read Chinese the placards on the cases say explosives (or at least Google assures that it does). Needless to say no one wants to cuddle up to these guys in any circumstance. They tend to have a short but glorious life in the Dogmeat Generals' service.

 

Here is the entire Corps in their glory.



Another shot.



And a final view.



It has taken quite a while but I finally have worked my way through this group and I am happy with them. Next on my painting table I have 40 Chinese bandits but my copy of Congo finally arrived and my many forest tribesmen, witchdoctors, and pygmies are beckoning. Choices, choices......

The Dogsmeat General should be able to shift some supplies with this amount of manpower. :)

The Dogmeat General's provinces are becoming infested with bandits! Is it because of the taxes, the looting, the alienation of the peasants from the means of production?!? Never you mind, the solution is to raise taxes again! Here are the first 5, 35 more to go, and then the mounted bandits!
 
A typical crap photo but believe me you don't want to hold your position around these guys too long! You will get more than a dose of cleaning rod!

Looking good!

They are indeed.
They will look like a serious bunch of miscreants when you have finished them all.
