More Indians
On a bit of a roll this week another 10 figures finished.
Richard Crawley reminded me yesterday that he had reviewed Ian`s figures way back in The Journal when I was editor, he pointed out at the time that the biggest disapointment was that these figures come mixed - Punjabi, Sikhs, Mahrat - The Indian Army was built along tribal and religious lines and these men would not be mixed with a single formation.
A bit more organised this time in my painting.
Two prone bren teams, left is EWM, right is by Shellhole Scenics
All Shellhole: RTO with Raventhorpe head, gun commander with map, 2 inch mortar No2
Shellhole British officer and RTO (same figure as above)
These will join my British/Australians, I`ll swap the officer out - I hate my forces to look cloned
Shellhole Bren converted to a Boys AT rifle kindly supplied by Paul @ EWM, the rifleman is also EWM
Comparison pic to show the conversion
All ten together
Looking good - despite the issues regarding headware. Perhaps pick your favourite headgear and, for figures wearing other, do head swops. I’d be tempted to give a fair few steel helmets.

Cheers Geoff. Yes, that would be best, but I may just say f**k-it and use them as is - see how inspired I am to swap 30+ heads.....
