"Frankensteining an Old School Spanish Artillery Battery" Topic

In preparing a Spanish army to recreate the battle of Mesas de Ibor, during which a small Spanish division fought the German division of the French army, I decided it was time to add some artillery. The German's are ready, so it is the turn for the Spanish. The Spanish I have are late war figures around 1812-13, in British style uniforms, so I will be using those to represent the Spanish at Mesas de Ibor, even though that battle took place in 1809. I have just finish two infantry regiments, but they need some artillery support. Hinton Hunt did not make Spanish artillery, but fortunately the late war Spanish artillerymen wore French style uniforms, so some simple conversions are possible. The battery below is made from a mish mash of parts from different manufacturers, but all together they appear to make a coherent whole.

Looks good. Will surely be better looking once painted!

Great work! Thanks for sharing

Thanks Jim. One can only hope!!!

Glad you enjoyed it Frederick!

THIS is, as the kids say, "value added"--a unit which wouldn't exist without above and beyond effort on your part. Congratulations! I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product.
