5th 9th, 17th & 21st Lancers

With the continuing development of the Hat plastic Zulu War 17th Lancers, I thought I would post a few of my images from my Colonial War cavalry image bank...

The plan (with some help from Mr. Imagination) is to create Lancers from the Royal Irish (5th) Regt who fought at Suakin in 1885 and the 9th Lancers who, I believe were in the thick of the action during the 2nd Afghan War 1879/80...we await the arrival of HaT's colonial cavalry...



















If anyone knows of any other images of either the 5th or the 9th in their colonial garb...I would be very grateful of any information.

Dervish Army

With the release of HäT's two excellent boxes of Hadendowah and Taaishi Camelry and the up and coming new set of Dervish infantry - seen here...
I thought I would post a few images to get us all in the mood...




















All the best to you all

15th Ludhiana Sikhs and Watering hole...

I'm just back from a 10 day holiday in India...Kerala. What a great time we had...but its good to be home.

Before we left I finished off my 15th Ludhiana Sikhs using the HaT Colonial Indians...also I've posted a few images of my watering hole.

The Sikhs headress was difficult to get right...and although I doubt they ever fought in the uniform I have given them I hope you all enjoy the out put...

Heres some of the uniforms I found while researching the regt.














Next will be a group of Colonial French.
