Title: WW1 Turks.
Post by: Bertie on 25 May 2011, 09:24:55 PM
Hi Leon, around 10 months ago you posted that you had a designer working on Turks/Arabs. What is the current situation?

It was a chap who's done some conversion work to make some more Highlander codes, and also some chaps on camels.  We actually picked them up at Falkirk, but I've not photo'd them yet.  Overall, I've got 8 foot figures, and the 2 chaps on camels.  I'm expecting some more masters in the next couple of days, so I'll photo them all together and put them up.

Oh yeah, forgot about these!  We'll need to get them mastered up so that we can take some up to the guy at Claymore, so I'll get something up to show you.

:D   :P

In my defense, they don't photo too easily, as the conversions are only slight on some of them...  I'll go do them now.

They look good! Especially the Highlanders. I'm thinking that that they might a useful addition or provide some more variety to the already existing Scots. in the colonial range. I'll look forward to their release

Hello Leon
I think the highlanders are great as well, hope they will be available at some point.
Just the thing for WW1 middle east.

Hi Leon, thanks for the pictures, these are good and will be usefull additions to the WW1 range. but to be honest i was really looking for an extra Turkish infantry figure or two. As on a personal note the current two figure look a little boring on a base. But as I say this is just my view.
