1914 Belgians - part 2

A few of my Belgians are pre-painted metal castings.  These would normally be vastly expensive but were bought at a discount.  We've already seen the two Tradition cyclists.

First up is a nice boxed set of eight line infantry from Alymer in Spain.  This consists of an officer, as standard bearer and six marching squaddies - all wearing the old-fashioned shako.  As in my world a company is six figures, this neatly makes a rifle company and a battalion HQ.  All I've done is stick them to mdf bases.


Then there's this Carabinier medic complete with dog.  I can't remember the maker but it's a lovely piece.

There are a few more metal figures but as they were converted and/or repainted I'll cover them later.

Those Spanish-made infantry are very nice, and ready painted! I rather like the Almirall Palaou figures (also Spanish) which occasionally crop up. The latter look fine with other 54mm makes, but I'm not a fan of the Del Prado range, a bit too chunky to use in my opinion.
