Work has finally begun on my 16th Century Turkish army. Strictly speaking, these Drabant 40mm figures are 17thC Poles and Muscovites but once painted they will serve my Turks well enough as earlier Walachian, Transylvanian, or similar subjects or allies regardless of details.
Those are nifty - where did you come across them?
ReplyDeletePicked up a couple from Sash and Saber at an HMGS convention almost a decade ago. They were beyond my usual price so I only indulged in a few but 2 years ago they had a clearance sale on so I took what they had left.
DeleteSplendid figures. They're shaping up nicely, too!
ReplyDeleteThey are "proper" miniatures. Just delightful sculpting.
DeleteIn the UK, we have been having several weeks of a heatwave, but just in the last 3 days, we have seen a (perhaps temporary) drop in temperatures by 10 degrees and plenty of rain (absent for 2 months) and the difference it has made to me in getting motivated to do some wargame chores this weekend has been surprising. At the moment, the dining table is covered in trees at different stages of assembly.
ReplyDeleteI must say, the Drabant have nice character.
The sculpting is marvellous.
DeleteThese are splendid figures full of character. I look forward to seeing them in action. Don’t forget about my three elastolin Turks ...

Alan thank you! I had indeed forgotten. Will be in touch.
DeleteVery fine 40mm figures Ross, I really must have a look at the Drabant range.
ReplyDeleteAlas too late for their 40's though Old Glory UK seems to still have some in stock but their 28's are also excellent (based on pictures.)
DeleteGood idea to use the Drabant figures - shame they are a tad expensive.
ReplyDeleteSuper look to these! A number of years ago I built a 25-28 mm Ottoman Turk collection. The look of these figures is much more imposing!
