92nd Gordon Highlanders at Kandahar, 1880


Inspired by the famous painting by Richard Caton Woodville, I recently commissioned the 92nd Gordon's to add to my Colonial armies. These were painted by Carl Robson using figures by Perry Miniatures from their Sudan range.

Here is Woodville's evocative painting of the 92nd Highlanders and 2nd Gurkas storming the Gaudi Mullah Sahibdad at Kandahar, 1st September 1880.





Here is my recreation of the Gordon's. The uniforms are a few year's later but are the best I could find.
