Polska Power

While I've been working on my 10mm Spanish Civil War, there has been quiet progress on other projects. After completing my 6mm Russians for the 17th century, I began work on some Polish forces to oppose them (and the Swedes). I had painted some pancerni cavalry but languished on the command. My attentions took me elsewhere and they were neglected. 

Here are the completed pancerni. I am pleased with the result. Red is the dominant color but there is also some blue and green pops of color. The banners also reinforce that red theme. 

The fortification in the background is a resin model of  Krzyztopr Castle from Brigade Models. I painted it like the example on their website and am pleased with it. The castle is located in southern Poland and was constructed in the first half of the 17th century The fortification can play a factor in various scenarios of Tercios taking place in the late 17th century. 

Next up for this project will be some more pancerni, a unit of winged hussars and some infantry to support them. I think this project will be something I work on in between other projects like the SCW Moroccans and the Wargames Atlantic Azincourt plastics.
