"Sons of the Empire" - Part I

In the meantime, all is in change. Even so my ideas about Dudley and his friends. I have show you the first paintsteps about Dudley and the Skinner Horses. And so I have change my mind about Dudley Regiment.

Dudley is an British Officer in an British Unit in the British Army in India. So he would be an Officer of the 17th Lancers.

His Friend, Major Frederik Hardy, would be an Officer from the 1st Madras Cavalry.

The next main character of the Troop is (Lieutenant) Colonel Robert Stanley Montgomery, Officer in the Viceroys Bodyguard and Special Agent of the Viceroys Security Service and a big-game hunter.

Last but not least we have Brigadier Gregory Hamish Campbell from 5th Seaforth Higlanders in Indian Service.

(Lt. Colonel in the Front)

 

And there are the Miniatures....

Pre Mutiny Madras Cavalry - Viscount Dudley a Skinners Horseman

It was a sunny weekend, and a hot sunday. So it was time to do some paint work. As first i want finish my pre mutiny Sepoy Cavalry (based on the Perry Napoleonic Hussars). Several time ago i start to glue them, now it is time to paint.
For the Color i Need the cheme of the Madras Cavalry in White and Blue. I start smart, because i haven´t paint the last 15 months.

The Beginning

Parade, Parade !

Officer and Bugler

Officer and Bugler again.

After some time, i use the Empress Mini of Lord Cirencester for one of my Viscount Dudley Minis. That would be the "evening Dress". I think Dudley was an Officer from the Skinners Horse 1st Regiment.  A Yellow Egg.....

 

That was all next more,
