More Scw

yes here are a few more SCW stands, Today some artillery. Starting with some 65mm Italian Mountain guns. The crew are wearing militia type clothes, but that does not mean They do not know how to use a gun like this. As mentioned previously as half the army deserted at the start of the war many of them went back to civilian life and many also joined different non army organisations so we can assume that some of the training would have been passed on.

Not a huge amount  to say about these. It is perhaps more interesting to talk about their transport.

I have also painted the gun teams moving. Being Mountain Guns they were able to break the guns down to be carried by horses, mules or even men if the situation dictated. Luckily for Me Pendraken also do some pack horses carrying the guns. So it would be rude not to have them as well. We will just have to assume that there are another two guys on horses one to make the third crew member and one to look after the horses who are off of the base at the time.






Needless to say these were painted for Curt's Analogue Challenge and I was particularly pleased that this is a figure range he had not seen before as I know he does wargame the Spanish Civil War.


So with these light guns I have also 2 French 155mm field guns. I have given these regular army crew as being Bigger I would imagine larger political factions would insist on having these. It is still quite possible that they could be on Nationalist or Republican sides as the uniforms don't really give a true indication of loyalty. As with all the figures I could paint Armbands on them, but this keeps it more versatile. I have Two trucks to tow these guns about. And I probably should apologise for the backgrounds being skewiff but I am not going to. Just take the colours from the backgrounds to indicate why I have selected those camouflage patterns.

I promise to put something that has not been on the challenge next time. As I am just basing up some dead markers for this game.

I have two games this weekend, Club on Sunday and Posties Rejects tomorrow. So expect my next post on Monday. So until then take care and have fun. All the best Clint

  1. Both batteries are good additions to your SCW models and I continue to be amazed at the detail you manage to get on such small figures.
    I'm with you too on purposely not painting them for a particular side, making themmuch more versatile.

  3. I've played an SCW game a long time ago - in either 10mm or 6mm, but your work here is stunning. Seems there are quite a few blogs doing SCW right now. Dean

  5. Very smart, I do like them. I had one of those mis-reading moments and thought that the SCW was Scottish Civil War! A VBCW off shoot, it took me a while to get my head into the rest of the post. Nice stuff I enjoyed the modelling.

    1. I miss read things all the time so I know what it's like. Yes I will be putting on a Spanish Civil war game latter in the year so expect to see some more 10mm figures for this project up to about August.
      Thank you Bob

  7. Great job! It's always nice to see some more of the Queen of the battlefield.
    I agree with Joe on the quality of the paintjob, I had to stop and think a bit if you've started painting 15mm, but it made no sense! :D

    1. Thank you Mathyoo. I must admit I do find 10mm easier to Paint than 15mm

  9. I can only echo the comments made by others - exceptional work on such small scale figures. I have never painted anything that small in all the many years I have been painting. if you hadn't mentioned that these were 10mm scale, i'd have never guessed. Stunning work, Clint!

    1. Having played a game at Posties with about 420 28mm figures it is dawning on me that I will need to get a few more bits and pieces done.

      Thank you Michael.
