For my taste, they look a bit pale. But nevertheless nice figures which we don't see here very often!

Nice figs !
You make me want to buy these figs, which until now wasn't really my goal...I was not very fond of Emhar peninsular figs...

Great infantry.
Did you also paint the Caçadores? If so please post some images.
What is your opinion on these Emhar Portuguese? I´ve used the old Airfix British Infantry for my Portuguese infantry but they may need some reinforcements.

Um bom dia.

Thanks guys
And a Boa tarde for Mario :-D

The figures are great, a little flash and some pain in the...... mould lines but nothing major. Their are made of a plastic the has no memory, so you can reposition the figure "at cold".

Yes I did paint vacancies, the set has 5 or 6 of them. The pictures are in the blog. But here is another.

I see you have painted the Caçadores as the Porto Regiment. It is always a good choice! Brilliant battle honors and the yellow gives a good contrast to the brown. I see that this is the older uniform with the shako that looks like the “Belgian” one. My unit (also the Porto Regiment) has the stovepipe shako. Anyhow I think I will buy a box and try to paint them.
Vacancies are in the order of the day, so perhaps your phone is telling you something...
The water at Albufeira was excellent this weekend, No opportunities for figure painting.
