Strelets Colonial British Infantry
Strelets 1-72 20mm Colonial British Infantry
The figures had practically no flash and are quite easy to paint up and are made from a sturdy semi-hard plastic.
I can’t say I’m 100% keen on this type of sculpting, but after painting them they do have a kind of charm and they fit in well as opponents to the Strelets Boers.

Italian Infantry Support Group In Progress
A box full of Italians on the go right now and they need a few 47mm guns - which I don't have.
What I do have though are two very old Hasegawa US 37mm guns, plus an unmade one which should (I'm hoping) make some fairly good substitutes for a "Cannone da 47/32"
Inspiration came from a photo from an old Airfix article by Gerald Scarborough.
Two of the ex-Hasegawa US 37mm guns now based and the third unmade kit has now been put together to represent a towed weapon.
The guns, minus their breech blocks, now need painting up. I also need to put together a suitable crew.
I have no Italians with mortars or heavy machine guns but this was solved with some head swaps - a mortar figure from the Esci WW2 French Infantry set, a crouching Esci WW2 US infantry figure and two figures from the Waterloo 1815 Japanese Infantry set.
The Japanse HMG is "supposed" to represent a Breda M37. It's not perfect but it's not too bad either once painted up and when I've got the bases flocked it shouldn't be to obvious.
And some of the Italian figures that are currently WIP.

S-Models Italian L3/33 Tanquette
A few shots of the 1:72 scale S-Models Italian L3/33 tanquette by Carlos de la Concha from the Brazo de Nelson Wargames Club.
These are for a small Italian / Commonwealth campaign in North Africa that our gamemaster Iván Cáceres has put together for our wargaming group.
