Regimiento de Infanteria de Linea de Voluntarios de Castilla (Line Infantry Regiment "Volunteers of Castile"), seen here in their 1805 uniform.
Crimson lapels, cuffs, and shoulder tabs, piped white (which piping I have left off, except on the shoulder tab as inconspicuous abutting the white uniform), collars and turn-backs white piped crimson.
The drummer is once again in the "Royal Livery", dark blue jacket with red facings, piped white.
Flag is once again by Adolfo Ramos. He doesn't do a flag for this particular regiment, so I have co-opted the Ordenanza of the Aragon regiment (sharp eyes will note the badge of Aragon in the corners, "Or, four palletts of gules", as opposed to that of Castile, "Gules, a Tower argent").
This unit is the first of several using Three Armies figures. They are very nice sculpts, if a bit heftier than the Brigade games figures, more of which will also be seen soon.
Nice work, Peter! I have a battalion of the Three Armies Spanish primered but not yet in the painting queue. I agree that they are good looking figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jon. I'll be interested to see how your come out. The remaining Three Armies units (3) will likely be painted as one each Irish, Swiss, and one in the 1802 unifoprm
DeleteExcellent stuff. I am really enjoying how this project is turning out.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jake! I am up to 11 infantry units painted already ( 2 more yet to post), and will likely do some of the Grenadiers next.
DeleteAwesome mix of white and crimson colors, they look superb!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Phil. You are very kind!
DeleteGreat work, and I love Spanish drummers in the Royal livery.
ReplyDeleteAll those buttons must have driven you to distraction - there are a lot more exposed on these figures than I remember having to deal with on the Front Rank Spanish I tackled. Lovely stuff!
Thanks, Lawrence. I rather enjoyed doing the buttons, actually. It is just about the last thing I paint, so at that point the unit is pretty much done. I think it really adds a "finshed" touch to the uniform and figures.
DeleteThese are storming along, great work Peter!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mark. I have been in pretty high painting gear, but notjing like what you are capable of! :-)
DeleteNice classic Spanish line, white with bicorne what's not to like? Good looking sculpts as well I think.
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain. I think it is shaping up to be quite an attractive army. Now if looks can win battles...
DeleteAnd they just keep coming ! Another splendid unit
ReplyDeleteThanks, Garry. Quite a few more yet to come as well!
