Queen Victoria's Enemies

[Jaques]

Hi friends.

These are conversions of enemy warriors of the colonial troops.
I wait that they appreciate the ideas.























Best regards.

Very nice..and usefull. what did you use for the legs on the two riders firing..the tops are from the Esci muslims but the bottom halves??

[Tuthmosis III]

Ha ha! I like the guys on the donkeys!

[SamSagace]

very good work!! and the donkey-rider is really funny!!

I like too the riders with the capes: self-made capes or figures without conversions ?

The flag and inscription are impressive

"Queen Victoria's Enemies" by Michael Barthorp - was it your inspiration?

[Angelle Sambre]

Very impressive! I can't wait to see them in a pitched battle with Queen Victoria's soldiers!

Hi friends.

Many thanks for the compliments .
I will go to try to answer the questions explaining as I made the conversions :

Perhaps influenced for I to be equally of a country that also was colonized (Brazil), the initial idea was to transform commander Dervish of the Waterloo, giving a mantle, flag and a great horse, being seemed to the painting of some pictures of generals.











The majority of the other figures, from above part of the body is Muslim of the Esci and the part of low is copy in white metal of the figure base.



The figures mounted in the donkeys, are equally Esci/Italeri , only cutting and molding with mass.



The mantles had been made using Cavalry Cossack WWII of the Revell.



E the Indian the foot is conversion of figure Cossack of the Orion.




Pardon for my very poor English language.

Best regards.

Jaques, you are genius when it comes to conversions (and painting I might add). I love the mounted riflemen. Well done.

[tallyho]
