Bit Of A Mixed Workbench Update

With the Russian Civil War game done the urgency to finish anything in particular is gone.

I do however want to try finishing off the things I was working on so here are a few.

This Copplestone MG crew has been re-purposed with head swaps to be Anarchist. Came out quite well I think.
Three different manufacturers for the Anarchist Cavalry here. Left to right STP Miniatures Anarchist on a knuckle duster horse, Scheltrum Miniatures Red Cavalry with a civilian cap and then a Foundry Boer War rider with a Empress Spanish Civil War head.
I did say it was a mixed bag, the first of my Chassuers D'afrique for Mexico accompanied by a Legionaire.
This Great War German MG has been re-purposed for my 1920 Poles.

And as we are working through the Great Northern War again with Beneath The Lilly Banners I thought to finish a bunch of casualty markers which should come in handy. 

And a bunch of troops for the Russian Civil War and associated projects.

I was hoping to have these Anarchists done for the recent game but just ran out of time. The MG is a Copplestone Turkish crew with head swaps. The Cavalry a mix of makes detailed further up.

This MG will bring my Poles in German uniforms from Great Poland Army almost up to strength for their second battalion, just an 8 man company to complete them.
Here are the Poles in horizon blue all together, a good start for the next regiment, need an extra 3 figures to finish the company and 2 more companies of 8 plus an MG. Figures primed so wont be too long before they are on table.

Lastly an American Lewis gunner, no doubt a mercenary trying his look with one of the many Russian Civil War factions. I may add this guy to my Anarchists.

Thats it for now, thanks for stopping by.

  1. Another excellent assortment of inter war figures, Roger (not forgetting the two Frenchies!) The whole RCW/BoB/Russo-Polish War era is really inspiring.

  5. Do you ever sleep? You seem to be producing top quality painted figures - many tinkered with/converted - at a right old rate of knots 👏👏
    Cheers,

    1. Cheers Geoff, I have slowed down as I get older, mainly my gut cant keep me at the painting table longer than 45 minutes at a time, chum Steve probably paints in an afternoon what I do in over a week. I have started to rely a little on him helping me out with basing to keep things moving along, but I do manage to get a few done I think in spite of all that. Its the best way I find to relax.
