Russo-Turkish war 1877

After a very long business-week I recognized that it is time for another post.

Here I have photos of an interesting wargame I found on the web this year. Sadly I lost the link to it, but safed the photos for my collection. Maybe someone can help out with information?

If you add WW1 there were 12 Russo-Turkish wars from 1568 to 1918.

In my eyes 1877/78 is one of the most interesting of them. Strelets has a nice range of figures for it and you can convert armies from both sides. Every Zouave can go as a turk and even WW1 German Pickelhaubes with ACW-Kepis can go as Russians.

Here we have some painting conversions of HAT WW1 Russians. But I think they don't work as this "slavic" style uniform came after 1877.

Let's add some photos in another scale. Photos from Konstantinos who made them in a private Museum in Istanbul.

And to complete the post just a few uniform-plates of the Turkish army

And some photos from a Plevna Panorama painting. Also from Konstantinos

The complete set of Dromedaries

Before I start showing the figures of the masters here a photo of how we will get them.
Looks terrible but my idea was to cover most of the uniforms.

Here we now have the hussar uniform on all figures for which you could use the bicorne. The plume was worn on parade, not on campaign. But we wanted to have both versions.

Afterwards the figures will be converted into baggy trousers. Than you can use the bicorne and the turban.

The cascett was only worn with the stable jacket. So I think this is the first part of Infantry in the Kleber uniform of 1799 for the infantry:-)

And here now the photos of the assembled masters. Please oversee the wrong headgear on some of them in this uniform. You see it is already removed:-)
