Thomas Schmitt. Sadly I wasn't abele to add my figures to the diorama as my brother decided to marry just on this weekend!!!!!
What I forgot is to give you a link where you can see much more photos of the first display of the diorma years ago
http://www.strelets-r.com/Contrib/C0086/Page.html
And some conversions I did for the diorama. The Crimean range of Strelets is very helpful for the British side, while for the Gurkas I used Airfix British infantry and melted their shakos down
with a soldering iron. For Sepoys Revell British 1815 infantry with the shako of the old Airfix French infantry to show the bell-shako of the Sepoys in the 1840ies.
In the meantime I used the Emhar 1848 US infantry for the 31st British foot.
Sikhs are made of various ACW and Napoleonic figures with Turbans from Esci and a paintjob.
I hope any time a manufactor will do figures for this range. If not I think about adding them to my own production ideas.
Someone told me Frontier miniatures who did "true 25mm" did some Sikhs in the past. For any information about this subject I would be greatful.
