From PhilH: SCW Carabineros ('Cambelleros') Part 2 (25 Points)

Curt, you threw down the gauntlet - could I match your total for our 'Duel so Civil'? A gracious offer, though to do so would have been against the odds: two full painting batches in one week, when the previous one had taken me two. I couldn't do it, could I?!

Could I heck. Instead, late this Thursday, I offer half: five more Carabineros for my tally. I make that 25 more points, totalling a mere 70 points worth of my Spanish Civil War against your 125 Russian.

Empress Miniatures, these all wearing brown workers overalls and fairly ragtag equipment once again. 

And here they all are so far, two thirds of the section. Coming along, but alas, nowhere as quickly as urged. 

You win Mr Campbell! And with that, I'm off to bed.

From Curt:

Ah, but Phil it was a heroic effort to be sure. I want to thank you for being such a good sport and giving me the impetus to chivy my RCW project along. 

While the first group of your Carabineros were fantastic, I believe I many actually like these more. I think it's the juxtaposition of their light grey-green peaked caps set against the browns and khakis of their monos. It gives a very cool effect.

So, as the winner of our duel I ask that this detachment be called the 'Cambelleros'.  Really, it's a small price to pay.  ;)
