We've already made available a further set of 20mm SCW figures. What we've released now is a 81mm Valero mortar along with its Moroccan Regulares team - which, as you can see by the pictures below, consists of three different crewmen superbly sculpted by Leonid Primachenko.
Enjoy a happy Christmas day, as well as an exciting 2022 New Year!
We're happy to share this YouTube video below, recorded by a gaming mate, which shows the painting process of a Minairons miniatures WSS Austrophile Infantry set, along with its command group. I hope you like it as much as we do!
Don't forget to like and subscribe to this IMHO exciting channel!
I'm pleased to share what is going to be our next Age of Sail ship model, an 18th century polacre (also known as polacca). These ships were kind of an evolution from xebecs, primarily designed to outperform these. Polacres most tipically displayed a lateen sail on fore mast while full rigging on main and mizzen masts.
Our polacre model is to have the high quality resin hull you can see in pictures, complemented with white metal masts and sails (pictures just show their 3d-printed masters, that are going to be brought to foundry soon).
I've just released a further set of War of Spanish Succession flags, in 1:100th, 1:72nd and 1:56th scales altogether as usual. This time, one of the most commonly depicted variants on the Portuguese 1701 pattern flags.
It's now available a further set of War of Spanish Succession flags, in 1:100th, 1:72nd and 1:56th scales altogether as usual. Now it's been the turn for one of the jacobite Irish units in Bourbon Spanish service - the McAuliffe Infantry Regiment, perhaps better known by its later Ultonia name (Ultonia standing for Ulster county).
Along with the flag sheets, I've also released a PDF painting guide devoted to that very same Infantry Regiment. All my PDF guides can be freely downloaded, as perhaps some of you already know.
Once back from a short vacation in the Pyrenees, I'm happy to share some preliminary views on what is going to be our next Spanish Civil War AFV release, both in 1:100th and 1:72nd scales - the ubiquitous 1937 Chevrolet armoured car!
As usual, these will be fast assembly model kits consisting of a main body for hull, and separate parts for wheels, headlights, turret and hull MG. Some of these pieces will be resin cast while others will be hard plastic or DLP 3D-printed.
As an aside note, this can be a really enjoyable model due to the number of adaptations and modifications suffered over their long service life - longer than one would expect from a start!
While still in SCW, some where fitted 45mm gun turrets cannibalized from T-26 tanks or BA-6 ACs. But then, once the Republic was defeated, a lot of Chevies fled to France; most were pressed into french service, either under their original liveries and weaponry, or with newly assigned camo schemes and armament. Later, after the fall of France, the germans took over all those Chevies still serviceable and pressed them into their own service, duely repainted in Panzergrau and dispatched to the Russian front, either with their existing weapons, or performing new roles such as troop carriers or turretless anti-aircraft platforms.
Plentiful of info and pictures at regard in Tanks Encyclopaedia. Enjoy!
Minairons' online shop (www.minairons.eu) will be closed for a few days, since today 15th until saturday 25th of September, due to I'm taking these for some much needed holidays. Our eBay store (www.ebay.es/str/minaironsminiatures) is already partially closed too, so that orders can't be taken there.
I'm going to spend these days at an undetermined location, plentiful of high peaks and forest. If anyone knows where this traffic signal is placed, then he'll have a good clue where I am roaming about :)
I'm happy to share our latest scenery piece just released in 1:72nd scale, a bogged down or bailed out IGC Sadurnà tank. This new model is resin cast as a single piece, so no assembly is required at all. A nice addition to a Spanish Civil War tabletop, as either a scenery piece or as an objective for your troops.
