Donnybrook - Tangier/Moroccan Civilians 1680

I originally bought the Sally Forth Market with Tangier in mind, so I needed some North African

civilians to inhabit my little part of Tangier. The figures are from a variety of manufacturers.

Perry minis, from Their Crusade range,  Irregular minis and some Indian civilians doubling up as Moors from Eureka  minis ( a cheap and great buy from ebay!)

And here they are in the same market as my last post.

With 1 change?

Out goes the beer tent and in comes the Weaver selling his colourful rugs and carpets!

And no, none of them can fly!

Yes I know it does indeed look a tad too green and lush in the background

but hey ho, just look at the carpets instead, which were included in the market set from Sally Forth. 

 

Donnybrook - 17th Century Market

 

Its been relatively quiet on my blog over the last few weeks, but I have been busy elsewhere. No games I'm afraid, I'm not sure the Rejects will be getting a game for the rest of the year, which is a pretty depressing thought?

But I do have my Market to show off. You may recognise most of the civilian figures, which have made their way onto my blog over the last month or so, unlike all the different Market stalls on show.

Most are from the excellent Sally Forth, and are sold as "The Souk - Set Dressing.

They're made from MDF and paper and can be bout for only £20!

Which is a bargain.

You can buy most goods at the market....

The tables on the bottom right are from Warbases and are metal.

I bought the tables and benches at SELWG a few years ago, but can't remember who from?

The stripped top stall comes from SHQ and is made from resin, but I can't find it on their site??? The Green topped stall is a metal piece and is from Steve Barber Models.

I've seen a few bloggers moaning about the new blogger layout. I've gotta say, I think its bloody useless!!! Its taken me twice as long to write this post, I usually put up all my photos then start writing deleting photos as appropriate. How ridiculous that you can't delete photos as you go. Blogger's Definitely taken a few steps back!

Rant over!

Salute Loot 2017

Finally got around to posting my Salute Loot!!

I didn't do half bad, my first purchase were 3 packs of torches from Midlam miniatures. One day they will be added to some figures, ready to set a village alight!!

I had a chat with Martin at Warbases, who showed me his new Roman range, some of the new buildings are quite something, check them out if you've any 28mm Romans. I bought 3 packs of animals to go with the ones I bought a few years ago, and 3 of the new Roman wagons, these will be added to my Donnybrook collection.

I collected a pack of Redoubt Woodland Indians from Col Bill and Belt Fed girl that I'd pre-ordered.

After having a chat with Barry & Toggy on the Warfare Minis stand I bought some mounted French Dragoons, now I already own some Dragoons from different manufacturers, but liked the models so thought why the heck not!

On impulse I also splashed the cash at Sally 4th's stand, buying "The Ancient Souk" market place, once again with Donnybrook in mind, Tangiers here I come again, or it would do just as well in England or Flanders. I also bought 2 packs of tents from Sally 4th....you guessed it, Donnybrook again.

Now my actual plan for te show was to buy some more woodland Indians and have a search for some early Settlers/Militia types for Bacon's Rebellion, So I picked up a pack of figures from Reiver Castings, they may be a tad late but I think they'll do. which brings me on to my last 2 purchases.

Painted figures!!

I can't remember the last time I bought painted figures??

Grubby Tanks were flogging Injuns for £3.50 a pop, so I helped myself to the above, 3 Musket Indians and 3 Commanders. 

Hmm? 12 Handweapon chaps!

 and 12 more bowmen!!

And.......I ummed and erdd about these chaps, once again they're Redoubt figures, which I was 

looking at not 5 minutes before I bought these painted chaps. There were more but these 12 ECW musketeers and 1 leader will be the start of my American/Settler types!

Hoorah!
