I have purchased all the figures needed for my Irish Rebellion of the 1920's collection. All figures scale out well with each other. At this point all figures have been mounted and base coated. The ADRIC is fully painted and deployed and the Black and Tan's as well as most of the vehicles are on the painting table.
The collection includes the following figures:
Auxiliary Division RIC – Footsore miniatures. Some additional figures added using Gladdis Games British with Old Glory Spanish sailor head swaps. Even a few Colonial British officers with swords removed and head swaps.
RIC Black and Tans – Gladdis Games WWI British in Caps. All troops have backpack removed.
Also have a few Colonial British officers with swords removed and head swaps fitted out to match.
British Regulars platoon reinforced – Old Glory WWI British. I included a cavalry section, just because. It could be used for sweeps.
IRA – Footsore Miniatures – Old Glory Boers and Boxer Rebellion civilians.
Many have the hats sanded down and putty used to rebuild as caps (like Peaky Blinders style), and several have metal foil trench coats additions to their jackets.
There are several Grenadier Call of Cthulhu figures that are used as well.
I used the old Glory WWI British Lewis guns. They come in a pack of 10 both standing in trench and prone. Not my favorite poses, so I converted using other figures both British and Irish.
For vehicles I use the Lesley Models of Yesteryear
Especially the Crossley Tender.
Watch for deals. My very best was for 7 cars for just over $21.00 USD delivered.
I also added the Austin Armored Car from Old Glory. The Austin is a little on the large size but works well.
This project came at a point in my life when I was facing a serious medical condition.
at the time, it was unknown If I would actual even start on the painting. The planning and development provided a needed distraction for me. Now that I am past the worst of it, I am looking forward to completing this project over the next few months.
I'm thankful to all who helped me in my previous threads and look forward to hearing more from you all.
