S Range Crimea - Beaston's Horse artillery Conversion.

Another oddball conversion.

Inspired by this site https://www.ottoman-uniforms.com/1853-till-1856-ottoman-cavalry.  I decided to make some conversions for Beaston's Horse Artillery (Osmanli Horse Artillery).

I used the same method as on the Turkish Telegraph unit, Russian Crimean Guards Helmet with added plume this time on the bodies of RHA figures  There are 4 different poses, Standing with Rammer, Crouching forwards, loading with ball and an Officer (?). 



 All have the full dress helmet shown above, although this article says they were only worn by the Officer but I have again, as with the Telegraph team, allowed all ranks to wear the helmet!  Just adds a bit of something to the Turkish forces.
