Descent from the Kush

Hi gents,
As the Napoleonic's thunder on I thought I would show off a few pics of the Sikh war collection. A few civilian additions to this my largest collection (at present) the back drop is from my old calendar in this shot its representing the Hindu Kush not Argyle.

Ranjit  descending into the plains.

Having some work done to the summer house has its bonus 6mm ply left by the joiners acts as a ground for the astro turf.

Another Perry peasant.

Flags from flag dude and Lbm.

Quite a few civvies added to this collection over the last few weeks.

Calendar provides the back drop once again.

I will get some more shots of this collection in the near future.

Afghan raid

Hi guy's

Claymore yesterday so picked up a few bits and pieces of terrain mainly from the last valley.

I bought the ploughed field shown here more for the Acw collection but I think I will get away with it in most collections.

Good show plenty of traders and lots of great looking games, Calibans & club mates game had huge amout of lead on show pretty crowded table when I looked,seen on Pauls post the the Han game won best of show well deserved for the effort the chap put on! truly family affair he had his wife/ son/ daughter and mother inlaw all with him helping at the table.

I took my younger brother along he used to paint figures years ago and I am trying to convince him its time to get back into it think I might have done it.

Unlucky villager hears a shot and feels the pain.

The culprit appears in view kind of reminds me of the wild west on the frontier changing Afghans for native Americans.

These raiders are visiting any unprotected villagers and taxing their goods in traditional fashion.

Old Glory villager runs in from the fields but to late don't fancy his chances with that little knife.

Heading back to base with the goodies.

British officer gets filled in on the situation.

These villagers have had enough and are moving out.

British launch a reprisal expedition.

A nest of vipers.

Not messing about the British head off heavily armed.

Thanks for taking the time to visit hope you found something of interest.

Birds eye view of the squares.

I remember seeing an interview with Spike Mulligan years ago when he was recounting his time in India as a boy he grow up there ,he recalled his father waking him up during the night and exclaiming that he had never bagged a tiger.strange story but really funny.
