Ooooooohh.......A Shiny Thing!

 Another day, another brief post - my SCW reinforcements from Jorge at Panzer Garage in Spain have been delivered - and very nice they look too! 

These are extra units I was unable to complete using the Minairons or other ranges.

(As an aside, does anyone in the UK know if Rolf at RH/Liberation Models is still operating? He has some Bandaras 20mm SCW figures listed on his site, and I have emailed him a couple of times but with no success. This is strange as I bought a fair bit of stuff off him a few years back - 20mm Iraq/Afghanistan combatants for both sides....)

So back to the show and tell, here are a few images.




The packs are - LG (The Legion) and - GC (Civil Guards). SCW3 are five extra militiamen.


Here are the Civil Guard figures with a partially painted Irregular Miniatures CG Officer - not sure if the uniform colour is quite right? 


And this is the contents of one of the Legion Command packs. I got two of each Legion pack, with the original intention of painting half up as Republican regulars, as the uniforms on both sides were reasonably interchangeable in appearance - fore and aft caps, webbing equipment etc - just the colours define which side they are on! Not sure if I will still do this or not.....

Here is a link to the site, if anyone is in the market for 20mm WWII or SCW stuff

TANKS WW2- panzer garage

And from the site, painted examples of the Legion command pack as per above:


Thanks for visiting and an extra big THANKYOU for leaving a comment!

    Two of your civil guard seem to be holding hands - which is nice. Will the unit flag be a rainbow one? lol.

    The joys of an order arriving, especially with the issues you guys have been facing of late. Fine figures and I look forward to seeing them in action once painted:).

    Always wonderful for the postman to bring stuff to the house. Nice additions to your collection, and a great link as well as the Show & Tell. Thanks. BTW, go with the sharing of regular castings told off by color.

    Sometimes, receiving new set of figs is as much of a boost as is completing a set.

      It certainly is Ed...in fact, given the size of so many oeoples lead piles, it seems like acquisition is the bigger thrill to many!

    They look nice Keith, and at least the Spanish postal service is more reliable than the Royal Mail at the moment.

    Always good to get a parcel in the post with hobby toys inside. I LOL'd here at work reading JBM's comment and agree with his take.

      I don't think the Guardia Civile would be very amused with these slurs on their machismo, Dai!

    Ahhh the joys of getting a parcel in the mail- it's still fun- but also stressful when it's late!!

      But once it DOES arrive, John, you forget how long it took to get to you!

    Good to see you received your order. The last time I had anxiety waiting for an order was an ebay purchase of a guitar from China. Only took 4 weeks but I was stressing.

      Thanks Dean, nice to see you back on Blogger too. I guess whilst waiting for your guitar to turn up you might have been fretting.....??! Lol.
