Hinterland Schutztruppen for VSF

Hinterland Miniatures' Schutztruppen, here painted as Australian Free Martian Company, Women's Division.
...or at least, that's what they claim.

Fantastic.  I knew you'd make them look great.

Very well done. And women are the more practical ones of the spieces and have the turn up on the right so they can shoot better.

Yeah.  That's why.  Of course.  And now I know more uniform factoids.

Part of Free Company also means freedom to turn up their hats where they please.

...yeah.

You can now sleep knowing these girls are from Victoria or Tasmania:

PS Poiter50 wasn't having a go at you - just seemed like you thought this unit was wearing a historically incorrect VSF uniform. But you were being helpful.

I cheerfully admit my ignorance of many matters - no offense taken or intended.

And thank you!

The mounts, by the way, are Martian Quandaries, similar to the terrestrial Dromedary.

I was apologising to Poiter50.

Anyway, the Martian Quandaries are nice conversions too.

At first, I was so focused on the excellent figures and brushwork, I failed to notice the quadaries tusks and mistook them for dromedaries!  :o
