More winter dress Brazilian infantry

 The Boys from Brazil continue to march out of the uniform store. This the sixth battalion over all is the second in full dark blue winter kit. 



The next batch will have the blue coats, but a bit more variety in headgear and trouser colour...just to get a break from blue on blue.

And this morning I received the exciting  news from the Perrys, via their Facebook page, that the Brazilian artillery is released and the Paraguayan gunners are on the workbench.

      Thanks Keith. Yes the thought of the guns is exciting. I will probably hold out until the mounted officers are done too and do the whole bunch in one hit...but then you never know.

    Nice work again Mark, and very good news that the Perrys are back to this range and producing the guns. You'll need to order a few along with the officers to get the free postage.

      I never seem to have a problem finding enough items to get the free postage!

    Lovely toys Mark...
    A nice contrast to the red of the Paraguayans...

    All the best. Aly

    Lovely work, they remind me of the Sardinians in the war of unification, I guess it was the same period, nicely varied too!

      Thanks Iain. Yes there is a similarity with the 1848-49 Sardinians...that is another war I would love to cover if only there was a manufacturer who made a full range...
