奥斯曼帝国（奥斯曼土耳其语︰دولت عالیه عثمانیه），是土耳其人建立的国家。创立者为奥斯曼一世，初居中亚，将伊斯兰教定为国教，后领土扩张至小亚细亚，日渐兴盛。1453年灭掉东罗马帝国，定都伊斯坦布尔。极盛时地跨欧亚非三大洲，包括整个巴尔干半岛、细亚细半岛、整个中东地区及北非的大部分，西达摩洛哥，东抵里海及波斯湾，北及奥地利帝国和罗马尼亚，南及苏丹。控制了整个西欧到东方的通道，是一个名副其实的大国。17世纪后逐渐衰落，领土不断沙皇俄国和英法等国被蚕食。1922年，奥斯曼帝国被推翻。#################################################

Rather than waiting in vain for any company to produce a Turkish soldier (WW1), I elected to make one myself. I realize I am in the minority here with my interest in the Great War, but I think it's kind of sad that No company makes any more WW1 figures. Especially considering the insane prices on E-Bay and Amazon for Sideshows WW1 figures. The Turks and the Austro-Hungarians get no love from the big 1:6 companies.

Head-HT Brando. I wanted him darker, to better reflect a Turk (although the sculpt is kinda dark already). I applied dark toned makeup to the sculpt to get a more swarthy appearance. Sealed with Dullcote and added "real" hair mustache.

3R Japanese soldier uniform, Soldier Story pack, BBi canteen, DML(?) rifle, repainted, DML ammo, scratch built kabalak and base.
