Pineapple Miniatures - 1/32nd scale - 95th Rifles, Buçaco 1810

Brand new from ACTA : the famous 95th Rifles, which fought around Sula Village at Buçaco 1810 against Ney corps.

If not for the tucked trousers and the bayonet in the rifle (hindering aiming) these miniatures portray nicely these famous soldiers. 

'Were can I find them?' is everybody asking, right? Buçaco Military Museum, as usual...

Pineapple Miniatures - 1/32nd scale Portuguese and French cavalry

Pineapple is now riding 1/32nd scale horses. Portuguese cavalry are A Call to Arms Life Guards conversions. The helmet is not absolutely accurate even after some GreenStuff applied.

The French are again A Call to Arms. This  time straight out of the box Dragoons for the 26th regiment.

Also a few more 1/72nd scale boxes:

Also painted is another group of 30 individual 1/72nd scale miniatures, Scottish and French line infantry.

French line infantry, Buçaco 1810.

79th line (Scottish) infantry, Buçaco 1810.

All These can be found as usual at the Buçaco Military Museum.

Pineapple Miniatures, 1/32nd scale, Batalhão Académico 1809

Last figures from the painting station:

The Batalhão Académico was formed from students of the Coimbra University and distinguished it self on the conquest of the fort of Santa Catarina in Figueira da Foz and the combat of Pombal during the 1st and 2nd Napoleonic invasions.

The Batalhão was formed of 6 infantry companies, one company of cavalry and another group of artillery. I don't know nothing both on this unit cavalry and artillery uniforms. Any help?

Look, a new Pineapple breed is born ...

 

The one who guesses 

1. brands (there are three)

2. scale ...

If you look closely there are some hints to help you...

   And here they are at the Buçaco  Museum itself. From this perspective you have more hints to help you find the solutions. 

  And you better rush as the miniatures to offer are only a few hundred. Now to the many who asked (as you can see in Comments): someone who answers correctly will have to come here at this basement to collect his miniature.

2nd batch ready. These A Call to Arms Belgium figures are some of their first and not as good as some of their latest releases or Hat figures. But they are easy to paint and make good Portuguese infantry if you don't get too demanding.

Pineapple Miniatures moves to 1/32nd scale

This is the 1st batch of 1/32nd scale soldiers to be sold at the military museum of Buçaco.

Corunna military museum

Last week spent a few hours in the Corunna military museum in Galicia, Spain while on a tour with my pupils. It's a very lovely and diversified museum with several floors, a nice shop, dioramas, true weapons, everything very well presented in a classical, sober style.

8 pdr french Gribeauval gun system.

Oerlikon 20mm(?). No! to the right! The girl on the left is Maria, one of the pupils.

They also have some super 1/35th dioramas on the War of Independence, as they call to the French Napoleonic Wars in Spain. The one above was inspired on a painting by Àlvarez Cueto.

The dioramas are filled with conversions from the Italeri; Hat; ESCI, etc boxes.

The coastal forts dioramas are something...

Battle of Corunna (Elvina) 1809 in 42mm. Awesome!...

As the previous Pope, Cardinal Ratzinger, was part of an AA unit in the last days of the Reich, I felt entitled to be more or less the same, temporarily of course, next to an 88mm gun probably left by the Condor Legion.
