As a side project I'm raising a small force of Spanish, to serve as a colonial garrison. In my spares box were a number of broken figures, the same as several test-painted some time back as Spanish line infantry. Went to work on the broken figures on Wednesday. Today they were varnished and based, all having gone well repairing the broken rifles, and replacing the heads.

Beautiful conversions! It looks a very formidable colonial force! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you Brad, its a fun side project which adds to the collection.

Great looking figures. I've said it before I know, but I do like to see the broken lead figures being brought back to play with terrific conversion work
ReplyDeleteCheers MJT, I completely agree, restoring them is a boost to my morale too, and having picked them up relatively cheaply it suits my funds.

Lovely work!
ReplyDeleteThank you Allan, they will probably have to face some American units.

Good work and an unusual subject .
ReplyDeleteTony, the cost of French figures seems somewhat high, so I decided to give up on the French and try raising a Spanish collection using converted figures.

These ARE very pretty! Hopefully their deeds (aka dice) will live up to their looks.
ReplyDeleteCheers Ross, the plan is to have just enough to man a colonial garrison, and furnish a quick to set up game. The opposition might be British but probably American: war of 1898.
