These sneaked onto the painting table will I wasn't concentrating. They are the latest Strelets set for the Russo-Turkish war of 1877 but the uniforms were so generic I had to get a set to add to my Askaris.
There were enough figures for three gun crews (only 2 guns) so two crews were given white uniforms.
The other in Khaki with a rather fine looking officer
Does this mean I'm start the Sudan? - No decision yet, but my resistance is weakening
Watch "Khartoum" or the Korda 1939 "Four Feathers" for some inspiration. Both good movies (and ignore the later versions of 4 Feathers -- the Korda version is easily the best).

Sudan would be great, all those Dervishes, camels, Gordon, later Kitchener- a ripping setting for wargaming.
Always enjoy your work.

Very useful photos, thank you very much indeed. I am off to get a set or two for the crimea.
If only Strelets would abandon their stubborn insistence on only selling the Infantry as part of a large multi set.
Ah well if the manufacturers were not irritating it simply wouldn't be plastics.
