The figures have been repainted representing an Argentinian infantry helping his Uraguyan ally to the rear for medical attention.

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.
I have a WWII game planned for Tuesday a Russo/German clash in mid 1943 using Battlegroup rules.

Nice piece Phil. Mary Seacole gets around but a wargame figure, didn’t see that coming.
ReplyDeleteThank you George. She is certainly well known now.
DeleteExcellent piece
ReplyDeleteThank you Neil.
DeleteThat's a lovely piece there Phil:).
ReplyDeleteThank you Steve.
DeleteBeautifully done - particularly the hardest colour of all - the whites!
ReplyDeleteThank you Norm. Recently finished 55 ECW figures in white coats so I have had a bit of practice 🙂
DeleteA lovely looking vignette Phil…
ReplyDeleteAll the best. Aly
Thank you Aly.
DeleteTerrific brushwork, Phil!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jonathan.
DeleteVery nice repurposing....that nurse looks just like the real thing, bossy as all hell!
ReplyDeleteThank you Keith. You can just hear her saying "this is going to hurt"
DeleteNice work Phil!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jon.
DeleteA 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.
ReplyDeleteThose were days. Bursting to shell, remember those 🙂
DeleteWell they have certainly seen action around the globe. Lovely little piece.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly has, it was a shame to see it languishing in the bits box after such sterling service.
DeleteNicely done Phil and recycled as well 👍
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt. One does ones bit.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really great piece.
ReplyDeleteCan I ask what paints you used for the Uruguayan's trousers?
Thanks,
Andy
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.
