Occasionally I have time to update a few of the older photos on the site.
Believe it or not, I don't have time to paint, much less photograph all of the figures in the catalog. What time I have I use documenting the newer items in the catalog, so it is a rare treat for me to be able to replace some of the older photos.
In addition to replacing bad photography, I can also show some of the alternative paint jobs for many of the figures. Nothing like a figure with multiple uses, as far as I'm concerned. At left is a French Colonial officer from the FR-17 set painted as both a standard Marine Officer and as one in a khaki coat. The latter comes from descriptions of the French on their expedition to Chad. The belting could be brown or black as could the boots. Helmet covers could be a light khaki or white.
This weekend I was able to update quite a few products, including the Senegalese, the new German Askari Infantry, and others.

New Russians! Inspired by drawings like the one above from Harper's Weekly reporting on the Russo-Turkish War, we've made Russians in the summer uniform worn in the field in 1877. This was an all white uniform, although if using these for Central Asia the trousers would be red.

UPDATE! The crew has been added to the catalog !
Kashgar Jingall crew. This gun, also known as a taifur, was manned by the sarbazes and used on the walls in forts. They were also carried into the field.

I've added new German and Russian sailors to the catalog today. This called for the addition of a whole new category: German Colonials.
There are quite a few new items to add and as I get them into production I'll be adding them a bit at a time this fall. Tony Portillo, aka the Combat Painter, painted these in dark blue to match a German landing party; the Russians in Central Asia wore the same uniform in white.

I have been wanting to add more mule sets for quite a while and now they are finally here!
M-5 (left) is a pair of draft mules, straining to pull...whatever you need them to! Wearing collars, they are in the kind of harness you'd use to pull a plow or a small cart. With four of them, they would be pulling a wagon.
I believe Askari Miniatures has the broadest and best selection of 28mm mules anywhere.
