Great War Miniatures-Woodbine Designs Hybrid Cavalry

GWM bodies with Woodbine heads to produce British Yeomanry in the Middle Eastern Theatres. These chaps are wearing the patch of the South Nottinghamshire Hussars.

Woodbine Turkish heads on GWM French Dragoon bodies to give Turkish lancers. The purists among usmay not like these as the horse furniture is French, not Turkish, and elements of the uniform and equipment are not correct, but I think with a suitable paint scheme they would pass muster on the gaming table.

Perhaps my last posting before the New Year, so Merry Christmas to those that follow the blog and to those that happen by. As Tiny Tim would say : "Gawd bless us, ev'ry one."

Found this image lurking on me Photobucket account. Can't believe that I had not actually posted it on the blog. Must have painted this back in 2009 sometime. Click on the image for a larger picture. It may be a little grainy as I've copied this accross from Photobucket and it may have lost some resolution along the way.

More Copplestone Tommies

Another rifle section of the Suffolks.

Woodbine WW1 New Zealand Rifle Section.

I've lost count how many of these generic Woodbines I've painted! Still fun though. Some useful information from the new Osprey book on the New Zealand Expeditionary Force went into painting these chaps.
