The Lahore Durbar 1845

[Flashcad]

It’s 1845 in Lahore, capital city of the Punjab, and Flashman has been admitted to a wooden balcony in the palace for a durbar with the raven-haired ex-nautch girl Maharani Jeendan, and her shy slave Mangla, who appears to have been raiding the henna jar and dyed her hair orange. Of course, just like any other fine upstanding product of the British public-school system, Flashy strongly approves the seductive and wanton dancing display being performed by the pair of shameless eastern houri’s and resolves to offer up a suitable prayer for them both later tonight...

As usual, he'll emerge from the situation with reputation enhanced, despite somewhat carelessly presenting his bayonet in the general direction of the lovely ladies.

The girls are 75mm resin kit figures from Chronos miniatures. Can’t remember what 75mm kit provided the basic male figure, but it’s had a fair old amount of conversion work to make him resemble my favorite 19th century scoundrel, and lifetime role model...

It looks like you've used color shift paints on these two dancers... interesting effect anyway.

What Dalibor really wants to say: "He likes the ladies!"

Why did you put a man as decoration in that wonderfull work?

[Kostis Ornerakis]

Excellent work with your Chronos girls!

Excellent work! And I feel I have to fresh up myself a little on Flashman!

In my opinion there's no better way of depicting silk or satin clothing...

HEY! newbie In this Forum I AM the dancing queen !





(Psst ... top made Flashcard ! )

" Ah ! nothing darling , you are the dancing queen. In my Dio. "

[Flashcad]

Looks good Wiking.
Can you please tell me the manufacturer and scale of your Dancing Queen -- Thanks...

[Wiking]

The scale is 1/72.
And the manufacturer is CW.

Wonderful dancers Flashcad. The silk effect is quite convincing indeed. How you make female faces to look so fetching I will probably never figure out.

I am very glad you positioned Flashman's rifle where you did, in keeping with the family-friendly nature of our forum and concealing any, possibly embarassing, trouser bulges.

Perhaps I'm somewhat more innocent than I tend to let on, but the only bulge I can think of that might be evident in Flashy's trousers would be that of the Koh-i-Noor diamond he's got hidden away in the depths of his rather deep pockets.

[MABO]

Beautiful dancers!
