Very nice!

You're web site is evolving rapidly and becoming well worth the visit!

If nothing else, here is a link to the history portion:

https://www.1898miniaturas.com/en/history/

The uniform articles are first rate with some super illustrations. The article on the Battle of el Caney is great reading... and even more reason we need a mini of a mounted General Joaquín Vara de Rey.  ;)

Your wish is my command. Fresh from our workbench and available very soon. A scoop for you guys, it's not even in our website or facebook yet.

Lol, share all the links you like. As long as they do not pertain to politics, as in current events you cool. Oh and no swastikas  :`

Google "El Mercenario" and see what results you get.

After graduating I decided to dedicate myself more and more to miniaturism, acquiring with my good friend and by then partner David Gómez the nickname ‘El Mercenario’, a job that for two years I combined with the direction of the unfortunately defunct Spanish version of the magazine Wargames: Soldiers and Strategy (still available in its international version). Working solo, I painted miniatures for private collectors around the world, as well as for top brands like Perry Miniatures or Front Rank, and I have written dozens of articles for magazines and industry blogs, as well as the book Painting Wargame Miniatures (Pen & Sword, 2015).

Here are my first 3 figures.



Not close to the Heresy or Javier... but they came out okay.

I'm working on another set of 3 now and this time will try to give them a bit lighter look and hopefully more apparent stripping.

Anyway, they are fun to paint and hereafter I'll post any further pictures on another thread.

Better than okay, Ray. They look really good. Looking forward to seeing more of 'em. You seem to have managed to suggest the pinstripe without making it look unrealistically dominant.

Well painted Ray.
Nothing wrong about them.
I am waiting for my figures to arrive.
Ordered them from Spain last week.
