Well I've waited about 50 years for this range. My interest was piqued from the short article in Tradition magazine. I just couldn't bring myself to do it in 15mm back in the day. I have followed the other attempts to do this range in 28mm, but they have either died on the vine or been slow to produce. I hope they do some Paraguayans wearing the chiripa. I have the uniform information. I just have to wait for the figures.
I’m sure they will but even if they don’t there’s a very nice existing range of 28mm Paraguayans wearing a mix of clothing, including chiripás from fellow LAFer Nuno Pereira at Kingscarbine Miniatures:http://kingscarbinepaintshop.blogspot.com/p/paraguayan-war-range.html
Yes, but is it even available at the moment? Last I knew Kingscarbine was becoming Rifleman Miniatures, and I got a message in May that this was happening this year (2019) but nothing seems to have moved?
<snip>By the by, if anyone is looking for painting references, aside from the battlefield paintings of Candido Lopez and the afore mentioned Foundry book the University of Toronto has published an online version of Barosso’s Uniformes do Exercito brasileiro, which is an excellent guide. Worth googling, the original goes for upwards of $1,000 in mint condition.
A question; more for reference really, but going on the scale of say the Perry Carlist War range, how would Kingscarbine /Rifleman Miniatures fit with the Perry range?
