Finally decided to dip my toes into this period. Some Asaltos and International brigade.

Another batch of Asaltos completed. This time the figures are the old Anglian models. Good match with the Empress figures. More on my blog https://scottyswargaming.blogspot.com/search/label/SCW

Nice work, love the moors.

Good to see.  I took the plunge in 15mm so we're pretty much painting the same units.

Standard bearer added for my International brigade. The figure is from Empress miniatures with a flag from Maverick Models. More on my blog here. https://scottyswargaming.blogspot.com/2021/04/scw-additions.html?m=1

Forgot to add pictures of the completed platoon. I've used a few VBCW figures to make up the numbers until my order from Empress arrives.

Picked up a BA-6 Armoured car from https://www.paintandglue.co.uk/ excellent value.

Added a few more International brigade to the collection. The figures are mainly from Empress. There is also a mortar and the start of some Nationalists.

They all look great! Really like the mix of colours on the Moroccans and Internationals!
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: scotty on May 01, 2021, 05:40:28 AM
Finally added the last 5 figures from Empress for my Asaltos.  I can now concentrate on finishing the International brigades. More here https://scottyswargaming.blogspot.com/2021/04/scw-asaltos.html?m=1

A few more additions to complete my 2nd platoon of International brigade. The figures this time are from Northstar. More pictures here https://scottyswargaming.blogspot.com/2021/05/scw-international-brigade.html?m=0

I completed another batch of Moors from Northstar to round out my 1st platoon. I can now make a start on a 2nd platoon. There are also some test figures to be used as Carabinieros, not sure I got the uniform exact. More here https://scottyswargaming.blogspot.com/2021/05/scw-moors-ptii.html?m=1

Very good.

Added some armour for my Nationalists. These are 3d printed models from Paint and Glue. Pretty happy with how they turned out. 2 Panzer 1s and a Renault FT-17.

I'm about 7 weeks into this project and did a little stock take on my progress to date. I'm hoping to have enough figres done for 3 complete platoons a side by the end of the month. Progress here https://scottyswargaming.blogspot.com/search/label/SCW?m=0

Great to watch your collection growing.  It’s looking good! 👍
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: scotty on May 17, 2021, 05:38:59 AM
Cheers guys, still got plenty more to do
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: Misneach on May 18, 2021, 04:02:00 PM
Great stuff - it's even better to see the forces assembled together!
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: scotty on May 23, 2021, 11:56:16 AM
Finally completed the last section for my 2nd platoon of Moors. More here https://scottyswargaming.blogspot.com/2021/05/scw-moors-pt-iii.html?m=1

I hadn't intended getting any Moors but seeing yours I think I will.  Very nice.
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: scotty on May 25, 2021, 07:42:59 PM
Another Panzer 1 added to the collection. This time armed with the Breda 20mm cannon. This is a 3d printed model I picked up
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: scotty on May 31, 2021, 09:26:57 AM
 Finally added my first AT gun for the Republicans. A 37mm Bofors AT gun from Empress miniatures. I also added the last section to my Nationalist army platoon. More here https://scottyswargaming.blogspot.com/2021/05/scw-artillery-and-infantry.html?m=1

A great looking model 8)
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: OB on June 02, 2021, 04:00:36 PM
Yes, they are.  I'm going to have to add a couple of Bofors guns to my collection.
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: scotty on June 02, 2021, 08:48:57 PM
Another group of Carabinieros and a couple of hasty barricades.
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: scotty on June 06, 2021, 12:29:42 PM
I finally got around to completing the last 12 Carabinieros that I needed to bring them up to platoon strength. More here https://scottyswargaming.blogspot.com/2021/06/scw-carabinieros-iii.html?m=0
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project

A couple of tanks to support the Republican cause. A T-26 and FT-17. https://scottyswargaming.blogspot.com/2021/06/scw-republican-armour.html?m=0

Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: Misneach on June 24, 2021, 12:37:22 PM
They look fantastic! I love the FT 17 camo and the weathering on the tracks  8)
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: scotty on June 24, 2021, 12:55:00 PM
Thank you
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: OB on June 24, 2021, 04:50:05 PM
They've both come out well.  Good camo colours too.
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: scotty on July 24, 2021, 07:04:27 AM
I finally got around to making a start on some extra forces for this project. Some FAI-CNT militia and Carlists. The figures are all from Empress miniatures. https://scottyswargaming.blogspot.com/2021/07/scw-update.html?m=1
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: OB on July 24, 2021, 01:10:16 PM
Those Carlists are tempting.  You must have nearly all of the factions now.
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: scotty on July 24, 2021, 02:30:04 PM
 Still need some Falangists and Foriegn legion
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: scotty on July 28, 2021, 05:48:14 PM
Another Carlist section completed
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: OB on August 01, 2021, 09:46:09 AM
So far I haven't got any Basques at all. Odd, because I do the earlier Carlist Wars.  The next stage of the project perhaps.
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: scotty on August 01, 2021, 10:19:05 AM
They are lovely figures and well worth collecting
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: OB on August 01, 2021, 12:30:23 PM
I think so too.  Just can't work out how it didn't occur to me earlier.
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: scotty on August 05, 2021, 05:21:10 PM
A few more Carlists and a Panzer 1 added to the collection. https://scottyswargaming.blogspot.com/2021/08/scw-carlists-part-ii.html?m=0
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: OB on August 05, 2021, 05:40:01 PM
Good stuff.  That's a nice Panzer 1.
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: scotty on August 06, 2021, 02:32:47 PM
My Carlists finally completed and a light mortar team for support. More details here https://scottyswargaming.blogspot.com/2021/08/scw-carlists-part-iii.html?m=1
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: scotty on August 09, 2021, 06:40:43 PM
Couldn't help but add a Pak36 for my Nationalists. Lovely model from Empress miniatures
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: Sparrow on August 09, 2021, 06:59:03 PM
Very nice!
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project

Looking good.

Excellent stuff, liking those eclectic vehicles too!
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: scotty on August 13, 2021, 03:22:47 PM
Managed to get a game in with the collection. Simple infantry engagement to test the rules. More photos here https://scottyswargaming.blogspot.com/2021/08/scw-rules-playtest-ptii.html?m=1
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: scotty on August 21, 2021, 05:45:01 PM
I eventually got around to adding a HMG team to my Carlists. A simple head swap to one of the crew and swapping out the officer for a Carlist one.
Title: Re: Spanish Civil War project
Post by: scotty on February 20, 2022, 07:03:44 PM
It's been a while since I updated this project. I finally got around to adding a handful of figures. I also got my first game in of the year using th Fistful of Lead, bigger battles rules. Report here https://scottyswargaming.blogspot.com/2022/02/el-classico.html
