I wanted some dismounts for my troop of WW1 Australian Light Horse, so went with the Strelets dismounted Australian Camel Corps figures with a suitable paint job.
The officer figure.
Lewis gunner - not sure if he'd hit anything firing from the hip.
While I was at it, I did a three man Vickers MMG team to provide them with some support.
The command/spotter team is from the mounted Australian Camel Corps Strelets set, with a reclining officer looking through a telescope and a heliograph signaller.
And for support for my British in sun helmets, I head swapped another of the Australian Vickers teams with heads taken from the dismounted Imperial Camel Corps Strelets set.
These came out OK and provide me with the dismounts I need for my HAT figures, as well as some support for the Australian cavalry.
As ever, thanks for looking.
I do like your job on the bases, and this Australian uniform, splendid units!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil, I made use of various tufts that I've picked up at shows over the years. Grit for the base is from various scoops that I've collected from a landscape gardener near where I work. Lots of crushed slate, sintered slag and quartz sand, just a case of picking what is the right size and drying it thoroughly.

Excellent work Andy they look great. What paint did you use for the blue/grey shirts? They look spot on!

Thanks Richard,
DeleteI used a base of London grey with a little bit of flat blue and then highlighted with blue grey with a little bit of flat blue.
Cheers, Andy
