Grenadier figures are still around. Eureka has the line now.
It may not be up on their site. I had to email them for a list.
I can tell you, the figures are really really nice.

Nicely painted!
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Thanks a lot!
Late Response to the kind comments. Real life took more of my time lately so I just have small progress  to show:

Nice work, they definitely have a campaign-look to them.  The terrain you used as a backdrop looks great as well - any wider photos available?

Looking really nice. I like the use of various Napoleonic figures to craft your armies in 28mm. Your brushwork is excellent as well. I have partially painted armies in 15/18mm, mostly Grenadier Productions figures (sculpted by the late, great Mike Broadbent) and some of the old Fantassin range.

I had the opportunity to visit the Chilean Military History Museum this past fall, they had some excellent displays and dioramas and it was a lot of inspiration to resume my Wars of Independence project as well as my War of the Pacific project (in 10mm).

Thanks!
The terrain is my photo installation, nothing bigger. If you meant bigger pictures of the minis:

Lovely painting.

Given how the last half century has panned out I often wonder whether Argentines feel independence was actually worth it.
