Hi all,
Here's a vignette I made using Oniria Miniatures' latest set:
"Galvez at Pensacola"

Thanks for watching.

Thanks for posting. Activities going on during the siege offer a lot of wargaming opportunities with a nice mix of British, Indian, French and Spanish units.

Excellent – what scale is that?

Cheers guys. Thanks for comments.
WarWizard@ I'd say 28mm on the 1/48 side je je :)
They are a bit taller than the average wargaming 28mm figure.

Very good. A lot of hard work and it shows.

Have you thought of turning your Spanish figure into a fuller range of wargame figures ? I know that there would be a lot of interest in this.

Wow! Beautifully painted too.

I was going to ask that very same question.

Der Alte Fritz; Winston Smith@
Thank you for your suggestion guys. I've fiddled with the idea of doing so. The problem is that if I aim the figures for wargaming, I'd have to reduce a lot the sale price to be competitive, thus need to sell a lot of sets to cover costs, and I really don't have a clue how the wargaming market works, can't estimate many sets I would sell, etc..
It's a bit risky…In any case if you can give me feedback and/or ideas please feel free to mail me.

You can have "diorama figures" and "wargaming figures".
Sell the gaming figures in unit packs.
Let's say, a pack of 24 figures, including an officer or two, standard bearer(s) and drummers. Flesh it out with musket men. Add grenadiers.
DAF could probably give some good advice.
I'm getting into Spanish AWI now, but am at the stage of "Can I use X as Spanish AWI figures"?
I can't paint as well as your example, but would sure like to try a unit.

What Winston said. Lets get these puppies on the game table.

I have this set and it's very nice but looking for a scenic base to go with them as none comes with the set.

Has anyone bought a scenic piece to go with these ?
