I like the rather unusual violet facings, and have painted the drummer in the Royal livery. Thinking about it I have done most of my line battalion drummers in the Royal livery and, while I'm not sure whether this is strictly correct for all battalions, will stick with it.
I'll probably also stay with 16-figure units (at least for the time being), on the basis that Spanish battalions were typically on the small side anyway.
Nice painting good luck with the blog.

An encouraging start my friend!
ReplyDeleteGood pictures and pretty flags - what more can I ask for in a Napoleonic blog?
Keep it up and hope you enjoy it too.
Best wishes

Very nice work indeed. A Spanish army is part of my post 2015 plans. Have the figures for 2 units of Grenadiers in their over the top Bearskins (Front Rank). Have to get past Ligny and Waterloo anniversaries first, though.

Thanks for the encouragement all. It is very much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteNice job. The Spanish of the Napoleonic era don't get nearly enough attention in Wargaming circles, and yours look spectacular.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback Mark, your comments are appreciated.
