Hi, I've just come from completing adaption of another of my WSS regiments from POW to Beneath the Lily Banners --that is, doubling its size from 9 to 18 figures. This is Barcelona City Infantry Regiment (or simply "La Ciutat" Regiment), that fought on the Allied side between 1705 and 1714.
As all of the formerly existing figures showed quite dynamic poses, I've reserved first rank for them, so I've only had to add a second rank of marching figures to it. Most of the figures are Dixon, but it can also be seen some from other makes, such as Essex or Roundway.
Despite the regiment's increased numbers, I've chosen not to add a second flag bearer, so the one shown is flying the regimental colours only. Flag is PC drawn and printed on paper, with just some minor enhancement by hand.
Nearly all of my Two Crowns units have already been enlargened this way, so that I'm going to start working on yet another Austro-Catalan regiment now. Cheers,
Lluís |

Beautiful work. Well done! |

They look great! And a very underplayed front of that vast war too. |

Nice to see some Spanish troops and very well painted too. The Spanish campaigns are sorely overlooked |

Smcdowell, it's a Catalan regiment. Pretty sure Lluis is up on the difference. |

Thanks for your warm comments, Sirs  My whole WSS collection including both Two Crowns and Austro-Catalans can be watched here: soldadets.blogspot.com/p/segle-xviii.html (at its current stage, with some of the units still awaiting a BLB adaption). Each picture leads to a separate article and photo show. Website is in Catalan language only, apologies for this! Lluís |
