Very nicely done indeed 8). A couple of items that I would love to have for my AVBCW armies, were it not for the large lead pile awaiting to be painted :(.

These are very well done. But where are the Arabs!
I've never really understood the lack of Arabs in indigenous costume given the WW1 Middle East Range, the French Foreign Legion and the Spanish Foreign Legion.

Arabs are part of a particular subset of the Mespot theatre, I initially wanted to play the 'serious'  contact parts of the theatre. The Arabs along with German 'advisors', ANZACS and other bits make up the wider picture. I have intended to do them but to be honest the era has not grabbed the enthusiasm of my gaming buddies and that does rather limit my enthusiasm to expand my collection.

Sorry I obviously hadn't made myself clear. I wasn't talking about the lack of Arabs in your project but the lack of Arab models in Pendraken's catalogue.

Ah right, yes there is that too  :)
There's a whole slew of North African / Middle Eastern late 19th-early 20th C shenanigans that could benefit from a decent Bedouin/Arab/Palestinian/Beja/Yemeni/Kurd range  8)

A Kurd range would be a whey good idea







Sorry

I think the answer to that is contained in your previous reply - i.e. interest in the period is not great.

However, speaking as a fellow enthusiast, I think your figures are brilliant.  8)
