Fountain of knowledge mate.

I try my best... fortunately so far there have only been questions I can answer. There are however so many I can't; the more I find out the less I know it seems.
 :)

Wow, I didn't realize that the Rebels had been quite so successful in capturing them.  I may have to re-think my next order!

To be fair it was more like perhaps even numbers of abandoned/broke down vehicles to captures (roughly 139 in total, of which 98 were put back into service and the rest used for spares). The T-26 was actually Spain's 'Main Battle Tank' right up to the supply of U.S. vehicles in 1954, barring 20 Panzer IV and 10 Stug III acquired in 1943.

Excellent job there sir.  :-*

SCW Nationalist tanks with the big painted flags look so theatrical. Very colourful.

Empress now sell a range of flags, printed by Iain, Flags of War, of course.   lol

I love the way you've done the Ensign (and the shirt on the "crucifix bearer"). I thought I had enough Carlists for SCW but having seen these photos it appears not......... ;)

Cheers mate. The standard bearer was my fave as as well. The only figure type missing from the Carlists so i chop the gun off the NCO.

Does anyone know why a lot of the drawings for the Carlists have the Cross Bearer wearing the checks?

Started painted my Moroccans last night. It might be an interesting one with getting the skin tones correct.

Finished another two units. Quite pleased with the outcome on these given that i only spent about 6 days in total on them all.

The figures are great as usual and i loved painting the Italians. Not sure i got the skin tones on the Moroccans that i wanted nor am i 100% sold that i got the CTV uniform correct but they will do for the table.

Next i have some Nationalist Cavalry too paint. I DO NOT LIKE PAINTING HORSES :)

The flags have been made by myself but for Empress. They can be bought only from the Empress site.
