Another little mission I have also completed today is two companies of Sudanese infantry for our Sudan Collection. The figures are all from Old Glory Miniatures Sudan Range (except one Perry Miniatures Egyptian Officer who has crept into the mix). I have painted the figures to represent the 11th Sudanese Battalion in the 1886 uniform, with the blue jersey for the later Sudan campaigns. I am still yet to paint the standards. Not sure when these lads will get a run on the table but maybe sometime in April.
The figures were quite easy to paint and make for additional colour for the Anglo-Egyptian forces defending against the Mahdist hordes. I will most definitely paint a few more maybe this time in the brown jersey?
Your Old Glory Sudanese look great! I do like the blue uniform.
Thanks Jonathan,
Most people seem to paint them in the brown so I thought I might try blue for a change.
A fantastic paint job for a great uniform…gorgeous!
Great looking colonial troops – I like how they're based too.
They look the business. Good troops in the field, too.
These guys are the business Nathan. Love the colours and the skin tone is spot on.
Thanks for the great comments everyone. I love this period and am finding it very hard to deviate to another period….'God save the Queen'
Excellent as always. What colour do you use for the bases
A
Excellent once more! Like the later uniform but retaining the blue jerseys
Very nice as always Nathan. Great to see the Sudanese in all their glory.
Great looking units. I lke a lot your painting work, and the figures are really nice.
Ant Master,
I use a tan base colour then followed by three dry brush coats of Vallejo Dark Sand. Each coat lightened by adding a little more white. I hope that helps.
Regards
Nathan
