Painting the Bengal Lancers

I decided to go with khaki uniforms for this squadron of Bengal Lancers but with colored regimental turbans. Since I haven't had the chance to go thru the research I've been collecting, I left the turbans a solid blue in the meantime. I'm also planning to change the bugler's horse to grey. More soon.

Stumped Painting Bengal Lancers

Painting the Strelets Bengal Lancers but can't decide if I should go all khaki or the more colorful dress uniform. And if dress, which regiment? I like the look of Skinner's horse as well as Hodson's horse. And the headgear research is driving me batty too. Any suggestions? The photo shows the horses finished with the riders just base painted. Did any regiment use khaki uniforms with colored regimental turbans? That might be a good compromise. Strelets sculpting leaves a lot to be desired and makes it difficult to paint faces, hands, etc. Most are just lumps of material roughly pushed into place. Sigh, but I keep on buying these sets from them. Misplaced fondness for their plastic charm? Maybe. I hope these painted ones turn out nice though. Posted via Blogaway
