While I know that plenty of companies make 1/72 Turkish generals, I needed one for my Crimean project and didn't fancy waiting. With that in mind, I converted an Italeri American Civil War general with some green stuff and a Waterloo 1815 fez. I'm no hand at conversions, but he actually doesn't look too bad. You can see for yourself here. link |

Stunning work, Mr. Kinch. Jeb Stuart has joined Ottomans? For shame! Thank you for sharing! It's always a delight to read your blog. |

Looks very nice.
As for Stuart joining the Ottomans, keep in mind that a number of Southern officers served in the Egyptian army in the 1870s. Stuart wasn't the sort to let a little thing like having been killed in 1864 keep him out. Grelber |

A bit of paint, and he should look marvelous! |

I did look up Rebel officers in Egyptian service. Most of them seem to have left in 1878, so not in time for the British sadly. |
