Colours for the New Arrivals

From left to right: The Tipooh's Own Guards, The Stripeties, The Royal Regiment of Tigger.

All three regiments trained in the Uropean style by Ferach soldiers of fortune...

Meanwhile Goode Kyng Gorge has reinforcements from Hunvaria where he remains Prince and Elector.

Regiment Von Bark

and

Regiment Von Mops

As an aside all Pug regiments are assigned Ogre Colonel's and Majors.

These worthies are derisively referred to by their brother officers as "Hundausfuehrers" or "Dog Walkers".

That's all for now. 

Thanks for stopping by!

A Topper for the Tipooh?

Update: First blush at Tipooh Sultan...

While I am well enough pleased with this result, it is not, in fact, the sort of headdress the Tipu was reputed to have worn.

Here we find Tipooh with a more traditional Mysorian headdress:

My proportions are obviously off. First attempt and I make no claim of being a sculptor. No doubt continued attempts would bear fruit however...

The Tipu himself

... the Bear's head is sloped forwards as opposed to human's more domed shape and I can't help but think that the Bear himself would lean towards the Western conception of turban rather than the realities of Mysorian haberdashery.

The Tipooh Sultan of Eeyore, the Hundred Acre Kingdom

​

Three units of Tiggerotters arrived yesterday.

Sadly the Tipooh is still in mufti.

I have to fashion some ornate turban for him. Thinking of using a washer as a base and sculpting a ring of greenstuff about it. Most worried about the "dome" as he actually is rather flat headed so he will need some sort of cap or helm on which to layer the turban.

Ideally he will be riding a Heffalump. Have the Heffalump, working out the details of the howdah
