Hello!
I´d like to show you some Spanish Civil War miniatures which I got at Crisis. Unfortunately, I only really looked at them once I got home, so missed the chance to buy a whole "starter force" without having to pay postage, but who cares - now I´m just selling off some old terrain pieces to make the money.
The manufacturer is Anglian Miniatures, which already offer International Brigades, various Nationalists, and Russian and Italian tanks.
The figures are nicely sculpted, well proportioned and paint up really well, too, even though I failed abysmally at my attempt to paint them to a standard close to Tom´s awesome BoB Chinese... I first want to build a Republican Force, then add some Nationalist Opponents.
I shall be writing a generic "Interwar" rule set and army list based on Legends of the Old West and The Alamo to use the figures.
Now for the pictures:
1. Unpainted, based onto 24mm washers (closest to 25mm I could get at the DIY market, and the difference is negligible).
(http://www.dminis.com/images/img.1162763236108.jpg)
2. Painted and varnished. Unfortunately, the mattcoat didn´t fully break the gloss sheen this time, but I´m not that picky with slightly glossy models.
(http://www.dminis.com/images/img.1162916463157.jpg)
Great models, and, as said, I´ll get more of them once the Wolfenfels minis are painted.

Hi,
those look great.
That was a quick paintjob. Crisis was...ummh :|
Saturday ?
Interesting that you complete the base first before you paint the Minis.
I like them.

Nice job. The color schemes are very accurate.

I base first, too.

Yes that SCW is a project I also interesting maby next year .
The Figures are very nice good job chris.

Jawoll, you may call me Chris, Blitz Painter! :D
I pre-based them this time because I wanted to paint them in one go. It usually depends on the type of miniature. My WW2 Germans, for example, are always based after painting.
The main advantage is that once the minis are varnished, I can directly go for the base. Also, I find it easier to clean up overspills when basing the raw miniature.
@Keyan Sark: Thank you VERY much for the links! I´ll bookmark them right away. I plan on getting the Osprey book(s), but until then, they will be very helpful, even if my spanish is... ah... nonexistent beyond "tacos, tamales y chili con carne, por favor". :lol:
I´m also relieved, because I was afraid the Khaki was too light. But I want to give the Brigades a slightly irregular look by using various khakis and brown-greens for the uniform basecoats, and I guess that uniforms losing colour would be rather usual, especially during summer months?
-
Very nice. Always wanted to get into gaming this one, much more evocative and emotional for me than most of the stuff I game. In which case perhaps it's better that I don't.
No... Must resist new... gaming period...
Get thee behind me, Satan!

I can help you with any trouble you may have with those pages...
This topic, for instance, can be very helpful
http://www.elgrancapitan.org/foro/viewtopic.php?t=5633
Note that the republican irregulars use to wear working clothes, normally blue or black. Republican regulars used brown-ish uniforms, and Nationalist used green-ish.
Oh, and that "taco, tamal and chili" thingy is not real spanish... It is PULP spanish! :lol: :lol:
-
Thanks for the link, that´ll prove really helpful. I had already procured some sources (for example the MW Guide to the SCW) which listed Rep uniforms as anything from Khaki to mid-brown... great for variety, and yet, it´ll look like a coherent force.
Oh, and that "taco, tamal and chili" thingy is not real spanish... It is PULP spanish! :lol: :lol:
I had almost imagined something like that... :D and the most amusing part of that is that the stuff that I get in the hispanic restaurant around the corner usually comes as a pulp, but tastes well... We all got our pulpadelics.
What is the correct term for Chili con Carne, or is this even a Mexican thing? And could it be true that Mitsubishi didn´t sell the "Pajero" SUV in Spain because it means a rude thing which I won´t dwell on here?
-

It is correct, but Mexican :)
And could it be true that Mitsubishi didn´t sell the "Pajero" SUV in Spain because it means a rude thing which I won´t dwell on here?
Indeed it is! :lol:
"Pajero" is a guy who does the kind of things Onan liked (so, if there are any kids around at least they'll have to research a bit :mrgreen: ). The car was named "Montero" in all spanish countries... :lol:
Ah, the languages...!
-
I couldn´t find the term in spanish dictionaries (and the latest one at my library has a GALLEON LOAD of insults and rude words in it!), so I couldn´t be sure if it was for real or just an "urban myth"... :lol:
-
Lovely sculting from Messrs Hicks strike again (great paint job too). I have most of their moderns and they are just as nice.
If you are into SCW have you looked at the FOA figures and vehicles range? they are compatible too
they only have a PDF catalogue so far but they have some lovely vehicles in the range. Both of these companies work together on the ranges....which is nice :)
http://www.forceofarms.co.uk/
-
Yup, I´ve seen FoA, but the few pictures I´ve seen of their miniatures don´t capture my mind as do the Anglian minis... the vehicles are very nice, indeed. But I´d like to get a collection from a single manufacturer once rather than my usual hotch-potch affairs.

... And could it be true that Mitsubishi didn´t sell the "Pajero" SUV in Spain because it means a rude thing which I won´t dwell on here?
Don't know about the "Pajero," But I believe that back in the 1970s Chevy had a hard time selling the "Nova" in Spanish speaking countries because "no va" literally translates as: "It doesn't go." :lol:
The SCW figures look good. My room-mate and I have been discussing a possible "Homage to Catalonia" May 1937 scenario - hardline CNT anarchists and some POUM vs. Communist assault troops at the Barcelona central telephone exchange. Just kicking ideas around right now, but these figures are wetting the appetite.
Been thinking too that some of the civilian dressed irregulars we would need might be usable in an Irish 1916 Easter Uprising scenario as well.

I'm tempted by the Anglian minis as well. Yet another reason someone should sculpt an "Ernest Hemingway" set, in various guises! Hello Copplestone!?
If I win the Lotto tonight, that will be my first commission. :)
-
I painted up the first batch of Anglian Miniatures that arrived yesterday, a command party:

Commissars, Banner Bearer, Officers. The BB was a freebie. Thx, Mr. Higgins!
A lovely little Maxim HMG:

Tonight, I´ll paint the anarchosyndicalist militia (with rainbow flag?!?) and the remaining four Interbrigadistas. And I went to my FLMS and ordered a quarter-scale Boeing P-26 for republican air support. May take up to three weeks, but its some 40% cheaper than via the internet...
-
Great work!
Although those pistols look strange to me... Look like baby guns! :?
-
Well, I´m not to blame for that... I don´t know which type of pistol it shall represent, but it looks remotely similar to a Walter P38, with a shortened barrel... although I´d certainly would have preferred revolvers.
-
I believe the pistol is the 1921 Spanish Astra
-
Don't think so, the Astra 9mm hat a smooth barrel outside. It might be a try on the spanish military pistol 7.65 (which misses the fat ring at the muzzle shown on the minis). The bergman would be anachronistic, as it's been manufactured from 1939 onwards (38 for 1938) and even if the Falange might have got some early models, these are republicans!
If anyone should get the impression that I'm a gun expert - no, but I've Gander/Chamberlains small arms etc. of WW2 encyclopedia on my lap right now! ;)
-
I´ve painted up the militia. Sadly, the picture isn´t that well, but until I get to take better ones (with terrain, once all the Brigadistas are painted), please use the following one.
I made them the "People´s Militia of the Revolutionary Committee of Railway Workers" (thanks to Keyan Sark for spellchecking the flag slogan!) - this gives me an excuse to finally use those rails I´ve got lying around.
(http://www.dminis.com/images/img.1164569314711.jpg)
Also, to get me over the dreary delivery time, I built a T-26 from cardboard, but I´m not really happy with it - looks a tad bit bland, so any suggestions to make it look more "snazzy" will be greatly appreciated. I´ve thought about a nice colourful flag, but am unsure whether to actually add one... those Nationalist captured T-26s are much nicer with their red-yellow-red turrets and St. Andrew´s Crosses on top... Worse still, somehow I botched scale, even though I had it all calculated up and down, it still looks more 1:48th than 1:56th... well, that means I have to get one of Anglian´s. :lol: :love:

Man !!!!!! I be on a journey one week and you paint a hole cluster of new figures are ypu crazy ?? and all are very good also !!!!

I´ve finished the last of the Int´l Brigades:
(http://www.dminis.com/images/img.1164918455145.jpg)
And a latino-hispanic chapel, also usable for Pirates:
(http://www.dminis.com/images/img.1164918602329.jpg)
-
That would pass as a "romanic" chapel, mostly seen in the northern part of Spain... The southern part is more akin to gothic and muslim architecture. The separate bell tower is really uncommon in chapels and churchs on Spain, but nobody will blame you for it! :lol:
-
The separate bell tower is really uncommon in chapels and churchs on Spain, but nobody will blame you for it! :lol:
That´s because I originally conceived it for Pirate games, so the "mediterranean" look is only achieved by the colour of the render and the tiled roof... :D :lol:
-
wow! Really like your army. Never thought of the subject for collecting miniatures but now i´m tempted.
Also liked the tank it look sturdy enough for me. The part i like less is the chain mechanisms (name?) Why dont you try something more 3dimensional?
Have you seen Ken Loach´s "Tierra y Libertad"? You´ll find it inspirational.

I like the "illusion painting style", but I´ll be the first to admit that it is a bit flat. Just a current preference - sometimes I do full 3d, but since I want to buy Anglian´s T-26 soon, I didn´t want to put too much effort into it - just a sideproject, two hours for the design, two hours for assembly and painting.

Difficult to obtain here in Germany. I bought "For whom the Bell tolls" on DVD this week, I´ve seen the Arte documentaries on the topic (70 years anniversary), and read Franz Borkenau´s "Kampfplatz Spanien", an eyewitness itinerary from 1938. I´m waiting for my public library to get back the Beevor on the subject, of course it has just been lent ONE DAY before I went to the library to get SCW books. Sheesh. ;)
-

Forgot about that one. Really good. There are also a lot of spanish movies about the war, i´ll recomend "La Vaquilla" (thats a young bull) its a comedy and its more about the social frame of the war but worth watching.
-
I guess that Spanish movies will be even harder to purchase here in Germany... :D but thanks for the tip, I´ll keep an eye.

Finished my model of the one and only P-26 in service in Spain. I took some minor liberties with the model (mainly omitting the ominous "underwing gun pods" for the vickers, since I could not find pics to model them, and simplified the rigging somewhat), but tried to capture the paint scheme as faithfully as possible. One minor point, though: according to 50% of the sources (ie profiles) I found, namely one, the P-26 had it´s license number X-12275 written into the yellow field on the rudder. I left it off because I feared it would ruin the nice, striking colours.
I´ll add more pictures tomorrow, when the flying stand has dried.
(http://www.dminis.com/images/img.1165968449078.jpg)
A shot of the pilot prior to assembly of the hull halves. Afterwards, I assembled the complete plane sans airscrew and windscreen, taped off the cockpit and spray-primed it white. The metal colour was achieved by painting it Vallejo gunmetal in two thin coats, then fine-washing it black-grey, drybrushing on another coat of gunmetal, and gloss-varnishing it after the colour markings were painted on.
(http://www.dminis.com/images/img.1165968636411.jpg)
In the above shot, the flying goggles remain unpainted. The model is a mix of a Tamiya plastic body, a metal Head from Anglian´s "Pasamontana Headset", and a lot of putty. Just too bad you can´t see any of it after the hull was assembled, but the head (visible) with scarf is nice enough. :cry:
Although the price was rather high (and I think I´ll order the next kits, an I-16 and a Cr-32, online), I´m very happy with the finished model, especially due to the paint scheme. I´m least happy with the rigging, because the yarn used started to rough up after I applied the glue to stiffen it. Well, again, the overall finish is good enough for a game piece, I guess, and compared to my Early WW1 German plane, the rigging was a piece of cake.

Copplestone has a pack of pilots available, some of them half figures to put into the cockpit, if you want to save time on your next project. ...an I-15 or I-16 perhaps? But your sculp looks good.

That's great work Chris. Your metallic work on the body turned out great.

Well, given that it´ll take some two to three weeks for 1. the IMO to clear, 2. the stuff to arrive, compared to one enjoyable hour of sculpting, I guess I´ll stick with homebrewed pilots... not really a saving. :D
I´ll agree that the Copplestone pilots are pretty nifty models, though. I´ll get a pack once I see some at a convention. However, I think they´ll be more at home in the 1920s than the 1930s, judging from the style of clothing...
-
Great job, Chris! And fast work! But you're German, so I'm not really surprised. :lol:
The metallic body looks really great.
-
The metallic body looks really great.
Doesn´t it, indeed? That Vallejo Game Color Gunmetal, in conjunction with the Nerchau varnish, must certainly be the best metallic paint I´ve ever used. I love it, and it looks great on the display stand... stupidly, I forgot to plug in the battery recharger for the digicam last night, so we´ll have to wait another 11 hours until they´re recharged... :?

SOmething new, if historically not fully accurate, three IBs recruited from my Bits Box and a Friend, from various manufacturers (Brigade and Crusader, AFAIK).
(http://www.dminis.com/images/img.1168808209851.jpg)
I´ve got pictorial proof for the Adrians, the Gorillo, gaiters and rifles - the chauchat and greatcoats... well, the minis had them, and they´d fit for Guadalajara.
-
Finally, after my rather mannerist exploits of the last weeks, a "soulful" little model in the shape of a cardboard FT-17. So cute. I´ll add a base made from an old credit-type plastic card, but that still has to dry, so a prepic for starters. I´ll take some pics with terrain this week.
(http://www.dminis.com/images/img.1168982976427.jpg)
Scale is ca. 1:56th.
-
Finished the base for the FT-17:

And built a BA-6 Armoured car, from a plan found on the internet:

Teutonic Efficiency! :lol:
Great work as always. I'm constantly amazed at your models. I'm building a little galleon and haven't gotten past the hull, and it's a lot simpler than a BA-6 armored car!
I got the Praeger/Osprey Campaign book for the Ebro, and now I feel myself succumbing to SCW disease, too.

Panzerkampfwagen I Ausf B for the Nationalists... well, the only thing I´ve got for the Nationalists so far. :D

-
A delante!
Well, it´s been almost a year since I last did something for my SCW project, and last weekend at Crisis, I finally got around buying the second force, Nationalists, plus some Republicans to round out the stuff I already got.
You may have seen the first of the Spanish Foreign Legionaries in my current LPL entry, but I also got and painted some vehicles for the Nationalists. More Stuff, including Légion Espagnol, Regulares Moroccanos, Condor Legion and a sniping Catholic Priest to come in the next few weeks, so I´d be happy if you came back once I posted new stuff.
First, one of the lovely UNL-35 Armoured Cars. A big beastie, but nice and handy as well. Thanks to Driscoles for that one.
(http://www.dminis.com/images/img.1194549451178.jpg)
And some Italian-built CV3/35 tankettes. Historically-seen, deathtraps, but very, very Interwar, if not Pulp.
(http://www.dminis.com/images/img.1194549651293.jpg)
Oh, and once the Prof is back in action, please feel free to move this topic to the WW1/WW2 board. It made perfect sense to me to post here back then but now feels terribly... "duh". You know.
-
nice stuff Chris! I´ll undercoat some Requetes tonight 8) What is this white cross over black ground?
-
nice stuff Chris! I´ll undercoat some Requetes tonight 8) What is this white cross over black ground?
It´s one of the two variants of the St. Andrew´s Cross used by the Nationalists both for aircraft markings and as aerial recognition signs on ground vehicles.
One, which I used on the tankettes and UNL-35, was white on black, whereas the other, seen on my PzI, was black on white. Apparently, there was no fixed system for its use, and I have a photograph at hand which shows both variants in the same unit of captured T-26 tanks.
After painting the white-on-black-variant, I may still repaint the PzI, because I like this one better than the black-on-white. And it provides a great contrast to the National tricolors.
-
I would keep the current sheme on the PzI, I think it works better with the dark vehicle colour
-

That´s the point in favour of the black-on-white. Decisions, decisions! :mrgreen:
-
Perhaps a bit off topic but I just wanted to mention that next years' theme for Crisis will be the Spanish Civil War.
The free give away figure in all probabilty Rodolphe De Hemricourt de Grunne in flying kit. Belgian pilot who fought in the SWC, later in the Belgian Air Force and finally in the Royal Air Force.
-
Awesome!
I hope to get an SCW game up and running which I can feature on the Triumph&Tragedy booth...
-
Does anyone make condor legion, or would early WWII germans do fine?
-
Anglian have a set of Condor Legion Advisors. From what I know, they wore primarily Spanish-style uniforms in brown colours (breeches lighter than the tunic) or, for technical personnel, blue. Note that the Condor Legion did not crew tanks, and included infantry predominantly to protect artillery and AA batteries, so in a historical setting, one might have to limit CL troops to those tasks.
-
Didn't crew tanks?
I don't have the Osprey about the Condor Legion but on the cover is a Mark One with some chap leaning out of the hatch who I presumed was a German (why else would he be on the cover of the book?).
Have Osprey got it wrong again?
-

From what I know, just as the Soviets did, the Condor Legion primarily trained Spanish personnel to operate the vehicles. The Foreign Legion was a primary source for candidates since those already had a high level of training and esprit de corps. And the Foreign Legion tankers uniform was a dark grey, from what I know.
Of course, that´s not to say that there were NO CL tankers, just that the custom was to train the Spanish in it.
The really nice toys, though, like aircraft and 88s, they kept to themselves.
-
Hi Chris,
Really excellent what you have achieved :)
I was once a keen collector of the SCW in books and everything else, but I'd to drop a period and this was the period!
Please keep up the excellent work 8)
Best Wishes.

Finished the T-26 tank:
(http://www.dminis.com/images/img.1195414360331.jpg)
Painted for the Republicans (well, "sloganeered" to fit them). Now I have a reason to convert that BAM Pak36 (or, more correctly, convert the crew).
-
Nice job - the Anglian Miniatures version?
regards,
-
Yup - my AFVs are either Anglian, Chieftain or Scratch, plus plastic kits for the planes.
-
Very nice! Over the weekend I dug out my Praeger/Osprey campaign guide to the Ebro, so this is very apropos.
Nice work, Chris!
-
Nice models!
"Apparently, there was no fixed system for its use, and I have a photograph at hand which shows both variants in the same unit of captured T-26 tanks."
Not so, the difference is in the period of use, Gruppe Imker (Group Beekeeper) the ground section of the Condor Legion used the St. Andrew's Crosses for arial ID so they wouldn't get strafed/bombed :)
White Cross on Black bkg was used from 1937 to March 1938, Black cross on white Bkg was used from March 1938 to the end of the war. The marking shift was in part do to the high rate of captured vehicles being employed. Germans did indeed pilot tanks utilizing Spanish gunners in the early portion of the war as well as the training process. Also Germans participated actively in the latter portion of the war with HMG teams operating with the Spaniards.

Finally, the Nationalist Infantry is done. For now. I´ve still got four Falangists and a HS-123 to paint... :P
Please excuse the poor photos - I´m afraid my camera might be nearing the end of its days...
First, Nationalist Characters (given my left-of-the-middle-liberal-democratic stance, I´d rather not call them "Heroes"). Two Condor Legion Advisors, a Capitan of the 3rd Ceutan Regulars, and a belligerent Priest.

Finally some new figures, which I got at last year´s "Crisis" convention in Antwerp.
Cavalry:

(http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg236/Christian_S_1979/Modelling%20and%20Miniatures/Spanish%20Civil%20War/nationalist_panzer_I.jpg)
All figures except the Pak (BAM) and the Lorry (Sloppy Jalopy, as noted before) are from the excellent range offered by Anglian Miniatures. I´d be happy to receive comments and criticism, especially on the subject of the cavalry uniforms - I looked hard, but couldn´t find color reference, especially for the cuffs. I just painted them red to match the piping on the gorillo caps, but if it´s wrong, please tell me so I can fix it.
-
Nice bunch of figures mate! I´m looking forward to our game!
-
Great job mate.
:)
Some of those Anglian Miniatures will be making their way into my British Civil War forces.
-
Lovely work Chris, looking forwards to seeing the game you gents are putting together.
On cavalry uniforms, piping and trim would be light blue, but they could easily be mounted infantry, so your red trim would be correct then.
-

Thanks! I think I will leave them in red, since T&T handles cavalry as well as mounted infantry, so no harm done; but of course, a cavalry squadron proper (ie ANOTHER 9 figures!) would be nice as well! o_o

Sweet. Cavalry always add a certain something to 20th Century games. Love them.
