Postman! Three 28mm ECW cavalrymen and the last four muskeeters for Earl of Essex regiment...

Today, at 13 CET, the postman delivered the Dixon miniatures parcel...
With these three cavalrymen we' ll complete a Parliamentarian cavalry regiment.
But with the four muskeeters we' ll able to begin to paint the Earl of Essex  regiment!
Why so emphatic?
Since the regiment colour is orange...and I like orange...:-)


Oggi, alle 13 CET, il postino ci ha consegnato un pacchetto della Dixon miniatures...
Con questi tre cavalieri completeremo un reggimento parlamentare.
E con i quattro moschettieri potremo iniziare a dipingere il reggimento del Conte di Essex!
Perchè così enfatico?
Perchè il colore del reggimento è l' arancione...e ci piace l' arancione...:-)

 Some pics...

Alcune foto...

    1. Yup :-) I like Dixon miniatures. Many poses and many facial expressions even if someone says these miniatures have "big faces"...I like them and they paint well...;-)

      Marzio.

  3. I've gone back and read the posts I missed while off blogger, so I'm now current.

    I like the color palette you're going to use. Orange is not seen nearly enough and I like the look of that lavender as well.

    1. Welcome back Anne :-)

      I still have to begin to paint the orange regiment. The red one is Apsley' s rgt, red coat and black, maybe, trousers.

      Next Earl of Essex, all orange, flag and uniform ;-)

      Marzio.
