  • Still far from finished - this one is one of those that will never be finished - you can see here a few models that are enough for some battallion sized RF games on the SCW theme. Together wilth my usual conversions based on Revell, Airfix, Esci and Zvezda there are plenty of proper Irregular Miniatures and some BUM figures. Tanks, artillery and armored cars came from FtF, Minairons, Panzer Garage, Irregular Miniatures and Pegasus. The aircraft are Special Hobby, KP, Azur, Valom, Super Model, Italeri, SMER, Heller and Airfix.

      Thanks. Irregular is highly underrated as they have some very nice ranges in many scales. Their problem is having some of the main ranges made many years/decades ago and that shows against some competition.

    That’s another beautiful collection with some clever conversions. It’s much easier in 15mm!

      Thanks. Im trying to keep most of my armies 20 mil. Sometimes it goes other scales but 20s is my scale of choice.

    Spanish Civil War is one of my favourite periods, but progress on my two 20mm armies is snail-like compared to yours!
    Interesting to see you mixing old and new pattern uniforms among your Asaltos and Legion. Was going to use dark blue for all of my Asaltos, but that light summer uniform really looks the business!

      Thanks. I buy Desperta Ferro magazine and they show always mixed uniforms in all their very well researched articles and paintings.

      Are you sure? I believe he’s meant to be a Gastador, that is a combat pioneer. His bushy beard goes back to Napoleonic fashions adopted by pioneers. Certainly an NCO but not sure of his rank, corporal, sergeant, RSM?
      The pouches at his waist are for Lafitte grenades.

      @@richarddababer8493 - I have the BUM Legion box too. It contains three such figures. Was thinking one as the Legion standard bearer, one as the platoon NCO, and the third, slightly converted, as the backbone of a Dinamiteros Team in a Republican Militia force. Am using the Chain of Command España supplement as my rule system.

      @@MichaelA-ru4gc you simply turn the flutes upside down, glue them to a base and the model aircraft will sit on it. As the base of the flute is hollow ( now the base is the base for the model) all raised details like bombs and such will fit on the hollow part.
