The Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge is well and truly over, Its know time for the lull in proceedings, which always seems to happen when the Challenge finishes, BUT, I still have a few brigades to finish off to complete my Almansa project........
I have believe it or not been busy and got a few brigade's nearly finished but Rufo's (sometimes written as Ruso's) completed. Their position on the battlefield, can be seen in the pic above squared in blue.
Its only a small brigade of 6 squadrons of Spanish Horse.
The 2 units that comprise the brigade are...
Milan in white and Grenada Nuevo in blue.
Once again the flags are generic NYW period flags, but I think they fit in well.
This flag is actually an Infantry flag, but I ran out of cavalry flags and cut these down to fit.
Rufo's brigade fought in the second line of the left wing under Lt General Abre.
Another little masterpiece!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal.
DeleteLooks like you are in the Home Stretch now.
ReplyDeleteI'm very close to the finish line Jonathan.
DeleteThat's a lot of tiny little men!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is Alex.
DeleteNice work Ray.
ReplyDeleteHaving now seen these in the flesh Ray, I have to comment that the photos in the posts do not do them justice.
DeleteI'm glad you approve Rich. It's always difficult taking pics of minis. Most of the time figures never look like they do in the flesh.
DeleteSplendid looking tiny men!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheers Iain.
DeleteGiven the battlefield schematic I can see why you are doing these in 2mm Ray. It would be several years' work otherwise. Lovely stuff.
ReplyDeleteThis is what's great about 2mm. You can reinact battles that you've only previously dreamed of doing, unless your a millionaire of course!
DeleteTiny with minimal paint required (but carefully applied) but still a lot of work due to sheer quantity, will be great to see them in action enmass in due course
ReplyDeleteShould look fab, when it's all done.
DeleteYou are nearly there Ray, another nice looking batch of cavalry, looking forward to the battle!!
ReplyDeleteNot long now Donnie.
DeleteKeep on going Ray, a couple of units every few days, and the collection will soon be complete, and we can all get to see you refight Almansa!
ReplyDeleteThat's the plan Keith.
DeleteGood to see your mass-production is still in full swing. Could the confusion over the name of the brigade have been due to the old way of writing 's' as a 'f' ?
ReplyDeleteI guess it could be Joe?
DeleteQuantity certainly has it's own quality - Great stuff Ray.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Stu
Thanks Stuart, I couldn't agree more!
