3D printed Soldiers for the early days in India

 Hi all, sorry it took a while since my last posting, but I was dealing with some health issues, which have been corrected, so I am now in a situation where I can get back to game stuff.

What I mean by the early days in India is the struggle between the French and English for control of the subcontinent. To be more precise, I wanted some figures to recreate the battle of Wandiwash in 1760. For the European contingents, there is a plethora of figures available. I chose to use models from Battle Cat Historicals which has an excellent collection of Seven Years War models. However, there are not many, if any, Indian troops available. So, using bits if found on Thingiverse from designers like Dutch Mogul, Earsling, Waynemc65, and others, I designed my own sepoys. So, here is what I came up with.


This is the inspiration for the first of my figures.

And here is my version of the above picture.

The following photos are of  Battle Cat Historical's British Seven Years War infantry. Note that the British regulars are delivered with boots. I modified mine to be wearing gaiters.



That's it for this entry, I hope you like it. Thank you for reading.
