They are really nice. Thanks for posting the shots of the La Mancha Lancers. These are the first pics I have seen of these particular Eagle Miniatures. You mentioned that you brought the Spanish Hussars? Love to see them painted and posted (if you have not already done so). I was thinking of using Perry plastics to do Spanish Hussars using the mirliton caps available in that set.

The La Mancha Lancers – I thought that they were a Regiment in Joseph Napoleon's army. Am I right there or on the wrong track?

Thanks very much for the comments guys, they are much appreciated.

I think there is a bit of confusion over the La Mancha regiment Brian, but I recalled seeing this TMP thread years ago (and the comments in the eight post) and went with them on the Spanish side, albeit following the colours from the Knotel print:

I bought a unit of the Spanish Hussars from Eagle miniatures. They are very nicely sculpted – much slighter than Front Rank which form the bulk of my Spanish, but around the same height so they don't look too out of place in a separate unit:

Excellent Work!

Thanks for posting the Hussars. Given me some food for thought as I am not that keen on plastic cavalry and the Eagle hussars look pretty damn good.
