Garibaldis Army 1860-7 - Troops on Parade

 

With all the World Cup match ups underway there's time for some figure stuff. I managed to put together a Troops on Parade review of the #28mm Garibaldi Collection on the Utubes. (Link at bottom of page)

Around 550 figs from the (Award Winning, but I don't like to mention it) 😉 Mentana Game 

A really interesting collection to put together, Gringo40s were the mainstay of the army with 12 of the 20 Battalions. I've then needed to go "off piste" for other units using Perry ACW and BIF for 6 and 2 Battalions respectively. There are also a smattering of Shako 64, with the Artillery and some of the named officers. The video explains it all.

There are a couple of shows Mentana hasn't been to, so it may see the light of day again. I have long term plans to add a Bourbon Army and do the Battle of Volturno which would also require at least doubling these. But that's a years away with other projects underway in front of it.

This part of a project is always the best for me, flopping it all out on the table, makes all the time and the effort worth it.

  5. Nice to see the army I've heard so much about on your podcast. Back on a painting push again so listening to the podcast (the perfect accompaniment) but luckily still have a way to go to catch up with the latest episodes.
    Great stuff, keep 'em coming!

    2. I don't want to catch up, and risk running out. They are an invaluable part of my painting process and I fear my painfully slow painting will get even slower without them.
