Mudki is an interesting battle fought mostly in the dark and it was the first clash between the British and the Khalsa. When I first decided to refight it I did not realise that I would have to make new terrain and buy some additional toys. Of course new toys are always good.
Anyhow part 1 is up on my blog with a few photos. Here's a link if you want to take a look. withob.blogspot.co.uk |

Cheers Hal,those ones are Black Hat I may get a few more. |

I'm with Hal. The figures, and your painting of, are great. I especially like the British lancers (from an earlier post to your blog). Your blog is really coming along nicely. |

Thanks very much Ragbones. Those lancers are from Minifigs Crimean range. Part 2 of Mudki should be up on Monday. Its written I just need to take more photos. I need to make some sandy hillocks too. |

Oh B#gger, Great to see your project proceeding! Currently on my phone, so not sure if my attempt to cut-&-paste a link will succeed, but here's a link (hopefully!) to a post I did a couple years back on building some simple "Low Sandy Hills", from single pieces of styrofoam based on inexpensive self-adhesive vinyl tile. It might possibly work for your "sandy hillock" needs… link |

Thanks MG that's a very helpful post. That's just the sort of thing I need to do but being hillocks they will be smaller. I'm using off cuts of foam board left over from my Indian city. Outlines have been drawn and sides bevelled. |

Sounds great, Oh B#gger! Look forward to seeing the finished products! |

I have made the first 4 MG and some look better than others. I'll have another go today and then post a pic. It is a good method and very cost effective too. |

The sandy hillocks just need a heavy coat of varnish now.

ponders nirvana.
