I'm tempted by the new Russo-Japanese war figures to put together an WWI Russian army. But have WWI British (1914, and 1916+) to finish and 1916+ Germans, and a small amount of 1914 French left to do. 

Why is it always easier to buy stuff than get it painted and on the table!

Happy to help :)

I did remember one thing I would change with my project, the colours on the labels

I used a sand coloured backgrounds for the labels which matched the flocking and base cloth
I differentiated nationalities with the colour of the text on the labels
Ottomans   Red
ImperialBlue
ArabsGreen
GermansDark Grey

So far so good. When I did the test prints the colours contrasted too much with the background. So, I reduced the saturation of the text colours. This looked good when the figures were close but did reduce the readability of the text on the table.

If I was doing the labels again, I wouldn't reduce the saturation of the text colours.

I'd also make use of Mmcv's great suggestion on my Indian project and use a warm grey as the background colour for the Imperials and Arabs
