Not only did they not make it to India, it seems they didn't make it to your blog either. I cannot see any pictures – like they are missing from your blog media folder. |

Sorry, no pictures showing up for me either. I must commend you on your painting of he other figures and also on your color palette for the Indians. And if it helps, the 95th did make it to India for the Mutiny. Terry |

Perhaps they made it to the Himalayas during a blizzard? Paul :) |

Wow so that is weird. Let me see what happened. All the miniatures were painted by Eric from pigmented miniatures. |
| Ashokmarine | 30 May 2016 5:37 p.m. PST |
Ok fixed. Should be good now… |
| Terry37 | 30 May 2016 7:12 p.m. PST |
Yep, it works now. Very nicely done. Terry |

Thanks Terry. And I did not know they were there for the mutiny. |

Lovely – Offensive Miniatures figures? |
| Ashokmarine | 31 May 2016 4:06 a.m. PST |
Yes Offensive miniatures. They are quite nice. |

Ashokmarine, Yes they were in the Mutiny and in fact supplied troops to the Camel Corps that was created. They wore a variety of uniforms – their standard green faced black with green or white trousers. Khaki tunic with black collar and cuff and khaki trousers, and my favorite – lavender tunic with black collar and cuff and lavender trousers. Now it's possible that the khaki and lavender uniform were one in the same, and subject to interpretation by the one who documented it at the time. But I have read of numerous regiments wearing lavender there. They also wore a peakless forage cap and a sun helmet with a black pagri. I did them as the camel corps in the lavender and wearing a sun helmet. They were combined with troops from the 88th – I think a company of each, but going from memory here. Terry |

Terry--good point on the lavender. There are examples of Russian telogreika padded jackets from WWII fading/washing out to lavender(or purple!),and that's with what I assume were chemical dyes. Mutiny – era dyes were anything from tea to mud,IIRC. The soldiers must have looked a motley crue,er,crew,indeed. |
takes the plunge.
