A few Spanish Leaders

The final push to complete my Spanish Napoleonic army is painting enough leader stands, and then a few odds and ends.

The mounted officer is by Eagle figures. 


The large dog is from a set of canines I purchased several years ago. 


The foot officer is a left over Thee Armies figure, wearing a green uniform faced violet, with silver buttons and red turnbacks, as worn by the Engineering general staff. 


Rear views.


Another Eagle Figures officer, with some accompanying infantry men by Eagle figures (with blanket) and Miniaturas Dose de Mayo (in the "new" uniform stovepipe shako but an old uniform white coat)


AS few tufts for variety...


and a rock!


Rear views once again. 


Some leaders on foot, shown previously but finally based - the wonderful Brigade Games portly general twirling his mustache, a Brigade Games Guerrilla Leader, and a Three Armies officer.


The Three Armies figure has the silver epaulets of a Brigadier General. 


High fives!

    1. Thanks, Aaron. Barry has a Russian command base with a dog going the "lift your leg march" on a wounded Frenchman!

  5. Nicely done, although I'm not sure how many times the Spanish had cause for high-fives, Talavera and Albuera aside.

    1. Maybe they are waving "bye-bye" to routing compatriots? :-)

    1. Thank you, Iain; he does sort of say "I don't think we're in Bavaria any more, Toto!" :-)

    1. Thank you kindly, Carlo. Not up to your standards for sure, but in part inspired by them!
