February has been fairly productive in a bid to push the Eastern renaissance project along.
The Ottoman Spahis presented a number of options;
- should I go with a uniform coat colour, and uniform lance pennants?
- or uniform coats and non-uniformed lance pennants?
- or non-uniformed coats with uniformed lance pennants?
As you'll see, based on some illustrations I had seen and a hefty dose of personal preference, I went with various coloured coats and uniformed lance pennants!
Flag is by Mark Allen.
Figures by TAG.
Despite a number of people mentioning that Ottomans would never wear purple, I decided to include one figure in that colour, again simply out of personal preference.
Have been productive on a number of other units too, so more pictures to come when they are fully ready.
Meantime, thanks to all who commented on the previous post about Graham. Much appreciated.
Some right choices, they are lovely.

Thanks Stephen. Am enjoying this project so much. Best rgds. Phil
DeleteGreat job Phil - I never heard the Ottomans never wore purple - any reason?
ReplyDeleteThx John. Not sure of the reason, but I do have a theory... will explain when we meet up for our Old Berks game! Best rgds. Phil
