Viva Minairons! Viva Jack Spanish Civil War start of project - 7TV? 30 Sep.

[grant]

I received some new models today, some 1/72 scale Minairons Spanish Civil War kits.

I wrote Lluís, and asked if it would be possible to have a couple of sample models as I am enthralled with how lovely the Spanish Civil War miliciana models in his line are.

Lluís far exceeded any hopes of mine, and sent me a box of the milicianas, a T-26, and a Sadurni tankette (which has decals useable for the T-26). This is more than enough to start a Spanish Civil War project, and for this, I have to humbly, graciously, and sincerely thank Lluís! Gracias!

Incidentally I'm thinking of using the 7TV book by Crooked Dice for the project


I do actually have the CoC and Espana rules; I think they look quite good, but need more minis than I have budget for (I'm really hobby funds challenged right now!).

So then I thought: action show, small casts, a few vehicles, 7TV! Think A-Team in 1936.  instead of a van, a bookmobile; name every miliciana, and make them the good cast. The fascists, morrocans, and other nationalists, well they can be the baddies.

7TV could work for this!

It will be very interesting to see how you sort this out - so, get cracking!

Rapid Fire is a good set of rules for the SCW, not too figure intense either.

I've played Rapid Fire - a long time ago - and it was alright.

I just want to try something different. 7TV will do that ...

I want to say thanks to Jack.

He knows who he is.

Thanks man! I'm really keen to do something on it this weekend.

I'm seriously tempted to do this project in greyscale, like photographs - terrain and all.

Hmmmm....

Do it! There's not enough Grey scale projects around, and I don't think there's any SCW projects in Grey scale yet - would be mighty refreshing.

Don't let their beauty fool you!

Thanks guys! The more I think about it, the more I like the idea. And what a painting challenge!
