Recycling and Repurposing

While searching through the bits box I discovered the two chaps painted up as Confederates, it is a piece from the Foundry Indian Mutiny range I had repurposed for our American Civil War demo games. That will make a nice piece to fill up the background in War of the Triple Alliance games thought I, also in the box was a freebie figure from one the Partizan shows representing Mary Seacole, aha, a nurse.
The figures have been repainted representing an Argentinian infantry helping his Uraguyan ally to the rear for medical attention.
I have a WWII game planned for Tuesday a Russo/German clash in mid 1943 using Battlegroup rules.

Until next time..........

  1. Nice piece Phil. Mary Seacole gets around but a wargame figure, didn’t see that coming.

    1. Thank you Norm. Recently finished 55 ECW figures in white coats so I have had a bit of practice 🙂

  6. A super vignette. I remember them from the ACW displays back in the mists of time. I think I still have the others, but repurposed similarly for the Indian Mutiny.

    1. It certainly has, it was a shame to see it languishing in the bits box after such sterling service.

  10. That's a really great piece.
    Can I ask what paints you used for the Uruguayan's trousers?
    Thanks,
    Andy

    1. Thank you Andy. For the trousers I used a base of Vallejo Burnt Red, then Foundry Wine Red Shade, then Wine Red Shade with a little Wine Red base added for the highlights.
