First, the regiment in line, accompanied by a previously painted Major General.
Then some drill practise in formations less used by my Spanish troops, such as attack column[1] ...
... and square (I have a habit of relying on musketry to stop cavalry).
And, finally a close up of the command group.
Notes:
[1.] In this photo an interloper can be seen behind the general - this was the test figure I did first just to be sure I could pull off the conversions before beheading an entire unit's worth of figures. When I did the unit's rank and file, I did an entire unit's worth in case one of the conversions failed - they all worked so he's now a handy spare.
A wonderful looking unit. Beautifully painted and the gloss finish really brings out the colours.
ReplyDeleteThanks, the last unit of Spanish were less successful conversions, so I was particularly pleased when these turned out so well.
DeleteI was hoping that their blue uniforms would pop once you got the shiny stuff onto them, and so it has come to pass! These are absolutely superb in every way. Just brilliant.
ReplyDeleteThanks, although it was a bit of a slog doing a whole unit, one of things I have enjoyed most about being seduced into vintage 20mil Naps is the need for such conversions. I enjoy working out how to make an available figure into something different - but once I've cracked how to do it, repeating it many times for a full unit is less appealing.
