Rolando and Giorgio

Giorgio and Rolando are other members of the Castillo family, more about them can be found here on the Oronegro blog. for those of you who just want pictures remain here. Rolando and Giorgio are from the Airfix wagon trail set, they were a joy to paint and I hope they look good to your eyes also
Giorgio on the left, Rolando on the right

I really like this new backdrop system, its merely 2 flip notepads one vertical an one horizontal

and here is the whole family so far, still 3 children and the mother to go... she is a scary mother as well
Well there you go a nice change from the rant that was the last post. on the soldiers side of things I got 2 more infantry done which brings me to a grand total of 6 so far with only 14 left to complete my first company. I also got a package from Michael or Mickey mouse for those of you on Benno's, which contained some Alamo defenders (great conversion opporunty there) which are better IMHO that the AWI militia available because their dressed for the warmth unlike some of the accurate figs, not that I would say no to that set id I was offered it... this is just a preference... SO this does mean another boat to the list the San Miguel or St Michael which means all I need is another boat on the to build list and then I'll double the size of my fleet when their done.

have a nice day/night
