Mosana Posted May 7, 2007 Author Posted May 7, 2007 The Mamelukes' uniform was red trousers, a sort of red fez with a white turban around it, like Zouaves would later wear, a shirt of red, green, yellow or blue, and a waistcoat of red or yellow above it, and a blue sash above that. They carried scimitars and pistols. Although you used a brown head for your Roustam, most Mamelukes were from metropolitan France, especially later on when the number of Egyptians thinned out. Quote
Mosana Posted May 9, 2007 Author Posted May 9, 2007 Little update: Napoleon in his "other" uniform sans coat: avec coat: Pierre Bezhukov (hero of Voyna i mir) Coming next: Spanish infantry and cavalry, Portugese cazadores, Prussian cavalry for Jena-Austerdt Quote
El Bucanero Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 You must be the Pirate torso master of this forum! Brilliant torsos! This thread comletly flew over my head! The torsos are reaally beautiful! Keep it up! Mr Tiber Quote
Mosana Posted May 9, 2007 Author Posted May 9, 2007 Spain: Note: Spain played a fairly minor role in the Peninsula, so, unless people want anything else, I'm going to touch on it very lightly. This also applies for Portugal, which is coming up next. Infantry officer: Infantry: Dragoon officer: Dragoon: Musician: Coming next: Portugese Cazadores, Prussian cavalry for Jena-Austerdt Quote
Fordo Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 Do you think you could make a torso for Czar Alexander for my Russian Army? If you need reference photo's I'll try and find some. By the way those are nice Spanish decals, maybe after I finish Prussia, Russia, Austria, and GB I'll do a Smaller Spain+Portugal army. Quote
Mosana Posted May 9, 2007 Author Posted May 9, 2007 (edited) Do you think you could make a torso for Czar Alexander for my Russian Army? If you need reference photo's I'll try and find some. By the way those are nice Spanish decals, maybe after I finish Prussia, Russia, Austria, and GB I'll do a Smaller Spain+Portugal army. I'll get on it in a few days. I have all the reference material I need. UPDATE: by "a few days" I meant "a few minutes" Czar Alexander I: Edited June 7, 2007 by Mosana Quote
Mosana Posted May 10, 2007 Author Posted May 10, 2007 The Cazadores were Portugal's equivalent of the Rifles, and distinguished themselves in many battles. Trooper: Officer: Now, I did say I'd be doing cavalry for Jena next, but I'm finding it difficult to get information on this subject, so I'm leaving it for the moment. Aside from this, this is the Napoleonic wars finished, really. Coming next: French Foreign Legion Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted May 10, 2007 Eurobricks Emperor Posted May 10, 2007 I have printed some more torso's and applied them on some figs. During the weekend I'll print the Czar Alexander I fig and take some pictures. Quote
Fordo Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Thanks for the awsome decal as usual. I've already decaled 80 prussian's now I need to order some supplies for then and then I'll post pictures. Will you be doing some Austrian's or Ottoman's? Quote
Mosana Posted May 10, 2007 Author Posted May 10, 2007 Woody64's already done some Austrians. I wanted to do some Ottomans, but I currently don't have enough information. But I'll get back to them later. Quote
Mosana Posted May 11, 2007 Author Posted May 11, 2007 French Foreign Legion Trooper: Junior officer: Senior officer: Zouave: Turco: Coming next: Maybe Franco-Prussian war. I need some ideas. Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted May 11, 2007 Eurobricks Emperor Posted May 11, 2007 The Trooper, Zouave and Turco look great! Can you put some dates on those uniforms? Coming next: Maybe Franco-Prussian war. I need some ideas. Do we already have a French Marshal uniform? Did the marshals of Napoleon have something like a standard uniform? Here's Marshal Louis Alexandre Berthier in his uniform: Marshal Andr Quote
Mosana Posted May 11, 2007 Author Posted May 11, 2007 Zouave uniform really didn't change much when it was used, and so the Zouave and Turco uniforms are suitable for the mid-1840s up to the start of WW1. The other bodies are "classic" FFL uniforms for North Africa, and date from 1870 to some point in the early 20th century. EDIT: I'll do some marshals next. That picture is an odd one, for every source I have says marshals wore blue. I'll do a generic marshal body, and some specific ones for Poniatowski, Murat and anyone else who deviated noticeably from the standard uniform. EDIT TWO: Here are some periods I know enough about to cover; what would people like?: American Civil War Franco-Prussian War Crimean War Seven Years' War (or French and Indian War for you Americans) American Revolutionary War Great Northern War Italian Wars of Independence British colonial wars Boxer Rebellion Quote
Fordo Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 How bout a Marshal Davout, since I consider him the most important of the Marshal's. Franco-Prussian War and the American Revolution would be nice. Quote

Are these the uniforms you have in mind? Quote
Mosana Posted May 11, 2007 Author Posted May 11, 2007 Indeed they are, as well as khaki versions for Omdurman and the Boer War. Quote
Mosana Posted May 13, 2007 Author Posted May 13, 2007 Marshals of France Generic Marshal: Murat: Poniatowski: Coming next:British colonial troops. I'll be doing regular soldiers, officers, cavalry and artillery in red and tan, also sepoys, bengal lancers, australian cavalry and some other things. I'll also take requests. Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 Sure you can. I'll get it done soon enough.More Mexicans: Officer 1: Officer 2: Officer 3: The colour used on these figures is dark blue. Coming next: Nelson, Russians Mosana: thanks for designing these outstanding torsos. I have to apologize becuase I had almost forgot about this thread as I don't visit the Pirate Forum very often. Quote
Fordo Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 Nice, Marshal torso's I'll be sure to print them out soon and put them on some figs. Quote
Mosana Posted May 14, 2007 Author Posted May 14, 2007 British colonial soldiers part 1: early period Soldier: Officer: Artilleryman: Officer of artillery: The 17th lancers were a unit participating in many colonial campaigns. 17th lancers trooper: Officer of 17th lancers: Quote
Mosana Posted May 14, 2007 Author Posted May 14, 2007 British colonial soldiers part 2: late period Soldier: Officer: These uniforms can also be used by artillerymen. Cavalry: Officer of cavalry: During the later colonial period, the British teamed up with the Egyptians to fight in the Sudan. Trooper: Officer: Other Comonwealth and Colonial troops: Australian lancer: Bengal lancer: Officer of Bengal lancers: Coming next: East India Company soldiers, Indian sepoys Quote
Fordo Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Cool, nice job on this batch. Eventhough I'm not doing the Colonial Wars I'll probably still print a few out. Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted May 15, 2007 Eurobricks Emperor Posted May 15, 2007 I haven't seen many users that are only a member for less than a month get a title on this forum. But in your case an exception was needed! From now on you are our Chief Torso Designer!!! Quote
Mosana Posted May 15, 2007 Author Posted May 15, 2007 I have just one body for you all. The East India Company soldiers simply wore red coats, and so can be represented by standard redcoat bodies. Sepoy: Coming next:Perhaps American Revolutionary War Quote
