With less than a week to go before Historicon, the very last of the figures for my Spanish Napoleonic army are done. A final parade review will have to wait until after the convention, though!
The bulk of these bases are Front Rank Spanish Generals that I ordered a few months ago, with a few other odd figures thrown in here and there
This base has a Spanish Lieutenant General on hiorse, with a Brigadier General on foot, and a left over Eagle Figures light infantrymen (painted as a member of a different regiment with crimson facings, as opposed to the yellow of the unity I did last month).
Two Front Rank figures - a Sopanish Brigadier (silver lace and trim), and a major General (gold lace and trim).
The plumes on the hats of Spanish generals are generally red, but I gave the Major general a white one for variety.
The fine black ink pen was used to pick out some detail on the saddle blankets and epaulets.
I used different shades of red on the saddle blanket, the pants, and the sash for some contrast.
A Staff Officer/Light Cavalry general, and a Brigadier on foot.
The mounted officer is Front Rank once again.
I am not entirely sure as to manufacturer the Brigadier on foot.
Another Front Rank Lieutenant General (3 bands of gold braid on the cuffs).
I mounted the last of the spare Eagle infantrymen firing on a base for possible use as a marker.
Once again, some detailing was done on the gold braid etc with the ink pen.
Viva EspaƱa!
Hooray, Peter! You made it! I knew you would, of course.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jon! I probably would have been OK without these figures, but I wasn't sure, and they were needed as part of the army overall. I actually have another 1 - 2 units that I expect to finish in the next 4 days.
DeleteFinished, and well finished...Colorful and beautiful, I lift my hat!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Phil, and a tip of the Chapeau to you as well, mon ami!
DeleteSuperb painting of a little seen subject. Very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, John; glad you liked them!
DeleteCongratulations on completing a project! I look forward to seeing pictures of the army and Historicon.
ReplyDeleteGracias; they will both be forthcoming later this month!
DeleteLovely looking Spanish
ReplyDeleteThanks for the thumbs up, Dean!
DeleteSuperb job Peter and I look forward to the parade! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mark; that will probably take place in late July or even August.
DeleteI thought I recognised those figures. Great job, and isn't "completed" such a lovely word?
ReplyDeleteSpeaking for myself, I would not know!
DeleteThe Spanish really are pretty much done. Now, I MIGHT just add a couple of units of Perry figures in semi-ragged dress, which would mean a few more grenadiers. Also, if some one makes a Cazador a Caballo in the Tarleton helmet I will add a unit of those. That is pretty much it though. Certainly there is nothing that I "need" now!
DeleteThat must feel very satisfying !?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Garry! Yes it is; well over 400 figures of Spanish alone painted in the past year.
ReplyDeleteWell done! They look lovely :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Aaron; I am happy with how they came out.
DeleteGreat effort to get them finished
ReplyDeleteCheers
Matt
Thanks Matt. Best of luck with your new property and venture in Mayence - it looks great!
DeleteWell done Peter, what an effort! Some fine commanders to finish off with.
ReplyDeleteAll the best for next weekend.
Thanks, James.; Tuesday is pack it up day, for departure Wednesday!
DeleteLovely command stands,a fitting end to your Spanish army, well as finished as any of our armies are!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Ian! Yes, Finished is often a transient state for our Wargames armies, isn't it?!
