Finally have completed a unit …. Some nice Brunswick Oels from Capitan. All survived my tender ministrations quite well.

and a group shot of the company with the lengthening shadows of the unseen pencil pines…

and the realisation that photos show details not seen… like badly placed bases. :)

Great work, and I particularly like the attention paid to the scenic elements. Who makes the house?

I had to pick up some of the Capitan Oels as well when they came out, but unfortunately they're still languishing unpainted, but extremely nice figures I thought.

Thx Guys :)

The farm house is from the excellent Spanish range from Grand Manner.

Lovely, and at least 10% prettier from an adherent of Ubuntu.

Very cool!. I still have my Oels in the to do pile. They are very nice figures, though a touch larger than I would prefer. Somewhere else on TMP I described them as being Perry-ish in size but have changed my opinion in that regard. They do match up well against Victrix French. Regardless, I am very happy with my purchase.

Yeh mike
would agree slightly larger than Perry-ish but only slightly – though that plumed shako adds to it I think.

to use a phrase… Ubuntu for the win !!!
been using it at home and in the office since beta Warty back in 2004 !
