I have started a project for this year to paint the British Peninsula War Light Division in 28mm. So far I have finished the British component of the Division: 52nd Oxfordshire Light Infantry, 43 Monmouthshire Light Infantry, 95th Rifles, Horse Artillery. The figures are Front Rank. Now I have to do the Portuguese Cazadores and infantry.

MEDIEVAL SWISS ARMY
Here is my Swiss army. This has been a LONG time in the making. I first made the master figures and the drop cast moulds for the army back in 1983. I cast a lot of figures, painted some and put the rest in a bag where they remained for many years. In the last year or so I have returned to my Swiss and painted all the figures I cast. I have added some Perry heads for variation and used some Foundry minis for standard bearers and a mounted leader. I have also used figures from other manufacturers for the crossbows and handguns. I have four cannons to go with this army. Two of these are painted and two more are almost done. Now why paint the pikes red? In the Funken book on Medieval armies they have the Swiss pikes as red and I thought they looked good, so mine are red.

WW2 AUSTRALIAN COMMANDOS 2
I have finished painting the Australian Commandos. Here they are. Nice
figures but I really don't know how they can ever be used in wargame if
they play their commando role. Their basic tactic, as one of them put it,
was 'Punch and Piss off' which does not make a very interesting game.
And yes Owen guns often came out of the factory painted in camouflage
colors. I did a minor bit of conversion on the figure with the rifle
turning it into an EY grenade firing rifle as by 1945 this was the only
type of rifle they tended to use apart from sniper rifles.
