One of the joys of a new project is it greatly helps getting the painting mojo back. I have quickly cracked on and painted up the 8 Asaltos I had from Anglian miniatures. Though a little slimmer than the Empress figures they do fit in very well. Great for extra variety in a unit.
I also had some British milita figures from my old VBCW collection. Most of these got a repaint, some just a touch up. I will mix these into my International brigade, likely the British battalion as the head gear isn't correct, but these were too nice a set of figures not to use. They are from the Musketeer miniatures range.
Once the rest of the International brigade figures arrive I can spread them across the units so that they become less noticeable.
The last addition is a HMG team for the International brigade. I believe this model is from the Empress miniatures range. Unfortunately after painting it met with a little accident so the gun is a little skewed.
As I now have to await my orders for the next batch of figures I have started to refurbish some old foamcore buildings I have. I've added some lean to's and small walling to the existing models. They'll now require a repaint.
Are you buying a bigger house Scotty, also does your missus know!!!!
ReplyDeleteSssh! So far these are all figures I already had.
DeleteGreat way to incorporate some existing figures into a new period!
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed. Great to get some use out of them
DeleteVery nice. Good idea using the VBCW figures, I'm sure they'll mix in without others knowing, unless they read your blog of course?
