These are white undercoat and wash jobs - I really enjoyed doing them

With the exception of peasant levies armed with improvised weapons this should allow every Ottoman infantry type to be represented in a table top force.

Easy to paint and a joy to do. I managed to clean up  35 castings  for master moulding in between

As for these paint jobs, they look a lot better than they ought to. I worked on and off for about six hours on all of them with only one being done in a black undercoat and worked up through the layers. The others are white undercoated, washed and occasionally highlighted. The figures themselves made the job straightforward and enjoyable. I was able to crack these out at a rate of knots wait till I really get into gear.

Further news will be forthcoming
