SCW Requetés batch 1

Viva Cristo Rey!

I`ve been planning to expand my Requetés for quite a while, I`ve only chosen those in traditional beret to add a bit of colour to my games.

This first batch of 12 was chosen basically on a first come, first served basis are a mix of Irregular Miniatures and Xan Miniatures.

Some minor comments:

1st the Irregular LMG guy seems to armed with a Russian DP LMG!! I`m not 100% sure that Requetés would have had these! 

Second Xan Miniatures are really nice and finely detailed, but they do have issues:

Tiny bases and weak ankles, these may not survive heavy handling; also the Requetés beret had a bright yellow tassle, none of these castings had this and I was forced to add tiny tassles with plasterscene on each and every figure. 😁 Oh and the LMG seems hugely over scale to me!!

L-R Xan, Irregular, 2 Xan

Irregular with DP LMG?, 2 Xan, Irregular

2 Irregular, 2 Xan (including the over sized LMG)

All 12 together plus an odd Bandera figure who needed a touch-up
