Toorkish Officers and NCOs
Albay Sapkasiz (Turkish for Colonel Hatless… according to online translators) on his Lusitano. Again, this is an RSM figure on Litko bases. The bottom is magnetized so I can store it properly. He is in a discussion with one of his company commanders which must not be going well as he has his sabre drawn!

The company officers and supernumeraries are attired as shown below. The sgt for each company is shown on the left. There will also be a regimental sergeant major but I’m thinking of using a rifleman with a turban similar to a Mameluke’s for that role. The drummer is an arty figure with arms repositioned and drums made from green stuff. The drums are pinned on each side. The flag was put together in Macromedia Fireworks and I used an online translation service for the motto, so although it’s supposed to mean "no fee too big" it probably means something eschatological!The picture on the right shows all of the regiment’s drummers in a jam session. I think they are practicing for the tryouts being held for the band at the Duchy of Stollen.
