Evening all We all have one, a 'spares' box, you know…. the place where the guys who are missing bayonets, and the guys that just don't fit into your army anywhere else all end up… I decided to put mine to good use, and try to field 3 full battalions of Spanish infantry out of them The first unit is available for viewing now on my blog, if you are interested in that kind of thing – I also need help / suggestions for the other two! link As always, comments and feedback welcome! Regards J |

Good looking "spares" unit you have there. As far as your options on the "second" unit, I'd go with Option B. Let us see them when complete. Jim |

Like the work. I too vote for option B. |
| Col Durnford | 03 May 2020 4:29 p.m. PST |
Good work. I would vote for the mixed option as well. |

I do this for Militia and Continental infantry for the AWI. Works for Oirish Rebels for the '98 too. Eric |

I did a 28mm battalion of spare Spaniards like that. Fun! Good job ferg. |

In 15mm I tend to have generic 18c militia units made up this way. |

May I suggest another option? The 'army' of Marshal Millefleurs, which might need more national uniforms. link |
