Three 6mm Spanish battalions completed this week:
For Talavera, I need a 72 figure Mallorca battalion. Rather than having one large battalion sat in my collection I decided to paint 3 x 30 figure battalions with identical, or near identical facings. These are the Mallorca, Cordoba and Guadalajara in 1805 pattern uniforms. Collectively they will form the large unit I need. They will also form the nucleus of a newly raised Spanish division in my Napoleonic campaign.
All the figures are from Baccus.

Goodies arrived this week from Leven Miniatures, and very quick they were too with delivery. These are for a number of projects: An airfield on Rhodes; buildings, including industrial for the Battle of Grissburg in the Napoleonic campaign; and a couple of ACW buildings for Gettysburg. Some will double up and be used for WW2 north west Europe.
Provided I can get it onto the table without too much delay, I plan to fight Grissburg next so will suspend other gaming to get these buildings painted up. I will also prepare scenic bases for each and when placed together, should hopefully make a reasonably decent large town/city.
Those buildings from Leven look excellent Jon.

Yet more painting to do. I would rather paint figures but a necessary chore! Yes they are nice buildings.
DeleteLovely looking units and I'm a big fan of the Leven Miniatures buildings, which I use with my 10mm forces.
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve. I will need to acquire some 10mm buildings for my AWI collection and Leven will certainly be a destination for that.
DeleteThe Spanish infantry look marvellous. The leven stand at wargame shows with the whole collection set out is a sight indeed.
ReplyDeleteI can well imagine Norm. Sadly I will not be able to make Salute this year for about the 4th year running! So I will not get to see the Leven stand for a while.
DeleteNice buildings; a bran I am totally unaware of here in the US. Your Spanish look great!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed painting my own (28 mm) Spanish in 2017 -18.
Thanks Peter. Leven specialise in 6mm and now have a decent and growing range of buildings. Your 28mm Spanish look great and frequently appear in Google searches when looking for uniform detail.
