For the First Carlist War I have finished the command base of the Guides of the Alaves battalion, this brings the unit up to three bases which can be used in next weeks game as a small unit. I am working on the command base for the Royal Marine battalion so that will be a small unit for the game. Before doing the figures for the remaining two bases I will finish the two figures for the Ontario hussars and BAL lancers to bring those up to four bases.
Nick expressed an interest in my World War Two Mediterranean theatre project, so while I am posting here are my figures painted to date, a mixture of Perry plastic and metals. I tipped up the box I keep them in and emptied most of them onto the floor, interestingly none of the plastic figures sustained damage, while several of the metals were chipped and sustained bent weapons.

Grand progress there Phil! Is it the angles or are the metal WWII figs chunkier than the abominations?
ReplyDeleteThank you DB. They are a little chunkier, height wise they are fine.
DeleteLovely work Phil! The Carlist Wars would be on my to do list as well if it wasn’t for the Perry metals.
ReplyDeleteAlso very nice work on the WW2 figures. Would like to see more of it some day.
Thank you Nick, the Carlist War is a nice semi-Napoleonic period to get into.
DeleteCracking on Phil, great start to the year.
ReplyDeleteAll the best with your plans and projects for 2020
Cheers
Matt
Thank you Matt.
DeleteAll the best to you too.
Wonderful figures, love the First Carlist War's unit!
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil. It is a very colourful period with the bonus that the range of figures is so varied.
DeleteThose are some lovely new additions Phil! I'm very tempted to start the Carlist wars and this is another push in that direction.

Thank you Christopher. It is a nice horse and musket period with not overly large forces required for a flavourful game.
DeleteNice brushwork! Fun to see add-ons to units taking place.
ReplyDeleteThank you kind Sir.
DeleteThe Carlist Wars unit looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThank you much Ray.
DeleteThe Carlist War is a very interesting looking period. So is The Triple Alliance-both of which Perry seem to want to tease me with!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is Matt, as for WotTA I am hooked already.
DeleteGoing wellmphil a good start to the year👍
ReplyDeleteThank Matt, just hope I can continue.
DeleteVery nice Phil, I had asked if your WWII was 20mm, I have two Sarrissa Dacha's and they are tiny, I thought I may have ordered up the wrong scale, but no.
ReplyDeleteThank you George.
DeleteMy Eastern Front collection is 20mm.
Lovely toys Phil...
ReplyDeleteNice as the WW2 figures are...
I much prefer the splendid Carlist War unit... it’s always been a temptation.
All the best. Aly
Thank you Aly.
DeleteSo much temptation, so little time.
Fab figures sir!
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt.
