Venta de Pantalones- The Anglo-Portuguese

They have very small “opinions”!

Good looking Scots there, and I love the scenic shots in sunlight.

Thanks for the nice comments.
Digits, the Sabot bases are 70mm x 48mm. If necessary I might be able to
make some movement 'trays' that would be closer to the other units, i.e.
40mm x 40mm per four figures.

In the meantime, also raided from Embushcada (Skirmish game) some Guerrillas.
Another 24 figure unit. Mainly Front Rank.

Fantastic!  Love the character in these.  Going to need a few gendarmes to deal with these rebel scum....hand on, I’m mixing in my Star Wars here.....

See....you’re not nearly so behind as you’d claimed! 

We need a James to pick up the pace now! Lol

Making alternate bases for the Scots would be best mate if you can.

[has.been]

Is the frontage the most important thing?
i.e. 20mm per figure? So that a 24 fig. unit, in line, = 240mm frontage?
Also, how big, or more accurately how small, can units be?

[Digits]

I sent you all the measures for base sizes and unit sizes mate.

I will re send.

Thanks.

Lovely miniatures and a nice setting. Well done!

Loving those Highlanders! I think Foxtrot Charlie do close order sabot bases for 1p based figures with no gaps between

Thanks James I will have a look at them.

Edit: I have started your force org and paint progress log based on info You have both given so far. Where you have given me unit designations I have used those, should you wish to update or assign names, let me know.  I know it will need a few tweaks yet....

I have thrown in another brigade based on a few units I will aim to paint up which you can use to even things up a bit.

Nb I simply use figure counts based on the unit sizes I gave you.  If you have painted a few more, these are not reflected in the overall count.

Also, you have me the background material for some of your characters, I will let you type that up yourself.

I have been busy painting...   Two figures!
I hate trying to match previous paint jobs, even my own, but
I have 10 Cacadores painted by (one of the) Andy Taylor.
It seems that if you are named Andy Taylor the ability to paint
well comes with the name. He did these over 25 years ago. It
should therefore come as no surprise that it has taken nearly
a week to come close to his style.

But now another anti-French unit, even though it is at half strength
(12 figures) They are skirmishers.

For those who are interested, my two are in the last picture.

A week???     Bloody hell, I thought my Scots took me an age! Lol

Anyway, seamless additions to your Andy Taylor minis.  I expect them to be a pain in my Frenchy derrière!   

[has.been]

Thanks Digits. Next will be another half unit... 95th Rifles.
I have 6 already, just need to add another 6. At least this time
I will not be matching Andy Taylor's style.

[Digits]

I look forward to it.

I will need to update the force org to reflect our collective performance to date!

Also going to amend the Scots Brigade now I have decided on a path forward for them.
