After little activity here lately, I'm continuing with the platoon for my Mehal Sefari.
Even though I didn't have much time for the hobby during the last months due to my job, I was able to finish painting the 1st section, which is now only waiting for its bases, and also finish the conversions and adjustments for all figures to complete the platoon.
What will follow soon is the freestyle - for the options I still need a MMG and a 20mm autocannon, which is almost mandatory due to the lack of other options, namely to crack enemy tanks, and I'm also toying with a FT-17, which would then be usable for my Mehals as a Fiat 3000, as well as in all early war scenarios for the French etc.
Here is an overview of the Platoon, ready for the brush:
The rebuilt Zanzibars from Copplestone Miniatures fit perfectly with the original Abyssinians from Empress as you can see, the rebuilt Italian Askari from Empress anyway.
Heads are from Woodbine; in the background the first finished painted section.
Below are some close-up photos of the individual sections:
The Leaders are entirely from Empress, as is the Standard Bearer from the Abyssinian Youth - he already represents an option (due to the flag, the section he is assigned to can ignore one Shock Point per phase).
The color scheme is also in place so far; the uniform jackets/tops will be the same faded shade of green, guaranteeing a reasonably uniform look, despite the many intentional differences in the figures.
To make it easier to assign them to the individual sections, the 1st section of the 1st half-platoon will be painted with white pants/leggings (already done) and for its 2nd section with gray instead of white; correspondingly for the 2nd half-platoon with faded khaki for its first section, for the 2nd section I will use a brown shade.
