Turkish Cavalry an Other Bits

[Helen]

Hi Folks,

I finally got around to finishing my 12 Turkish Cavalry from Battle Honours which I must say don't look bad considering.




Also some of the new Woodbine collection Turk bombers plus a character and more Brigade Games Turks.



On the workbench is my model T Ford that I'm working on and would like some suggestions as to colour. That is, do I paint it olive green or a sand colour? Suggestions please an also some painting colour tips, many thanks! Some of the metal parts require a little attention during assembly. I made a map from green stuff which is on the passenger seat. The LH officer is actually a Artizan French Foreign legion officer with a Brigade Games LH Khaki Fur Felt hat taken from an Australian mounted officer. A little green stuff came in handy for under the hat. The soldier seated at the rear is from the Brigade Games WW2 and made into a Kiwi. -You can purchase a number of different heads from Brigade Games and some of these can be utilised for this period. I'd to apply some additional legs and feet to him so he was a full figure. All the remaining bits and pieces are from Brigade Games, BAM, Old Glory Ship Yard (think of Mimi or Toutou helmsman sitting on the box thingy).




Also from the woodbine collection two of the ANZAC characters that I've applied 'green stuff' too so that I can employ them as doctor and medic. This is my first attempt at applying 'Green Stuff' to a model. Michael Broadbent  provided me with a quick demo on "How to."


Thankyou,

Helen

Thanks guys for your lovely comments.

I haven't showed you all my Turkish forces, but when I do it will be with the additions of the extras I've been painting. I just love the Woodbine collection (Gripping Beast) figures which have been a real treat to paint.

Guys, I still need suggestions on vehicle colour and your painting colour suggestions. I'm using vallejo paints.

Cheers,

Helen
