The figures themselves require a very small amount of cleaning up with the end of a sharp modelling knife to remove a tiny remnant of the moulding vents from the ends of rifles, but otherwise they are ready to be prepped for painting.
The CTV figures match both my existing Peter Pig and 1st generation Battlefront (FOW) 15mm WW2 Italians, though are a little slighter in build than most of Martin Goddard's SCW range. Perhaps noticeable when held six inches from your nose but not on the tabletop.
The Late Queen figures in Adrian helmet are purely to represent Blackshirt elements of the C.T.V. whilst my WW2 figs will represent the regular Italian formations. But more about that over the next fortnight.

Hi Mark
Peter told me about the blog. what colour will you give CTV uniform? brown-greenish, greenish or somthing else? BTW I have a scenario for the Palacio de Ibarra if you are interested (for UYCAS,a variant of IABSM)
cheers

Hi Soren
My present plan is to paint the CTV mostly in Italian grey-green with black (actually in this case dark olive green) helmets. A couple of additional stands will be painted wearing a mix of tropical and temperate clothing as per photos of CTV troops in the flechas brigades.
Love to see the Palacio de Ibarra scenario.
Cheers
Mark
Hi Mark
I'll mail the scenario as soon as I find the time to scan the scenario map. Do you have a e-mail?
cheers
Soren
