Hi folks,
while over at FIASCO, I had a thoroughly enjoyable chat with Tannenberg (of RifRaf Miniatures), which ended in me purchasing a platoon of Spanish Infantry (in addition to the FT17 kit I had already bought from him).
Here´s the first section painted now.
And the tank, with the paint scheme based on my interpretation of B&W pics from
this (presumably well-known by now) website.
I´ll paint the remaining infantry platoon first (which will be a decent-sized T&T force in itself) and then buy an MMG and probably the Rif Infantry platoon at Recon in early December. I´ve also gotten a number of books on the subject from my university library and will, hopefully successfully, collaborate with Tannenberg and Driscoles to produce a "Mini-Supplement" for Triumph and Tragedy for the 1920s Rif War, scheduled for Spring 2010 at the earliest, though.
