A few more SCW figures have emerged from the painting desk recently - some the last of the Irregular figures that arrived some months ago, and others the first of the most recent arrivals from Panzer Garage
Irregular Miniatures Assaltos (Republican Assault Guards). This is one of each pose they make - not the best figures to be honest but I have not found anyone else who makes the Assaltos in 20mm so far....
The three Guardia Civile poses available from Irregular.
Guardia Civile group comprising the three Irregular figures, plus ten (two packs of five each) from Panzer Garage
The last six Irregular Republicans
Five Panzer Garage militiamen, painted up as CNT/FAI (denoted by the red and black headgear)
There are quite a few more Panzer Garage figures completed - their turn in a couple of days' time!
Nicely done Keith 👍
ReplyDeleteCheers Matt!
DeleteLooking good Keith.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Richard.
DeleteBeautiful looking minis!
ReplyDeleteThankyou, Michal!
DeleteA nice mix of units there Keith and I love the Republican leader who looks very haughty! I do sometimes wonder when I see some poses as to what was the intention of the designer, given that they are of limmited uses in a game. Love the background you've used for the photos BTW:).
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve....yes, some poses can be a bit odd but in the case of these, to be honest, they just aren't all that great....the officer looks quite ape like in the shape and length of his arms, and the two guys holding rifles across their chests aren't very good either.
DeleteAs to the background, it's genuine Spain, sourced via Google Earth images ...just landed in some random highway in the countryside and swivelled the view around then took screen shots!
The latest additions look good. I bet the fellow in the center of Photo #1 has a devastating right hook.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jon, maybe he should get an extra D6 in melee?!
DeleteNice mix of figures, good job tying them all together. Assaultos and Guardia Civil are my favorite units in the panoply of unusual that is the SCW. Nice touch on the background piece, thanks for the quick tutorial on how to do it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe, yes, I really like the look of these two units too...it's a shame Minairons don't have them in their range.....
DeleteSome great looking figures Keith.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray
DeleteSome superb additions to the collection
ReplyDeleteCheers Scotty
DeleteIrregular are very useful for filling gaps, but they could do with revisiting some of the older sculpts. As always, it is the splash of red that catches my eye :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm, beggars can't be choosers, as they say, and Irregular are the only 20mm Assault Guards I have been able to find.
DeleteGreat work on some of the more difficult figures Keith. I too prefer to purchase the correct figures rather than mess around with conversions, which never turn out that well for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence . I don't do a lot of converting either.
DeleteAll coming along rather nicely. 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks Stew
DeleteNice new additions! Those fellows in the first pic might not be from this planet, or perhaps from a timeline in the far future that Charleston Heston railed against when he came across the half-submerged statue of Liberty? :)
ReplyDeleteYou may have hit on the answer there Dai!
DeleteGreat looking SCW figures, Keith. Impressive to see the various periods and scales you work on at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean, I have another batch of SCW figures to share soon.
DeleteSome fine additions to you collection Keith …
ReplyDeleteAll the best. Aly
Thanks Aly, the next lot are nicer I think!
