I agree, the Spanish really allow you to express your painting, given the variety of appearance their forces came up with, so I intend to mix the traditional with the irregular, semi-irregular and turn up with what you are wearing units.<br />Cheers<br />JJcarojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-79429404313283701492015-02-11T04:04:12.564-08:002015-02-11T04:04:12.564-08:00Very well done.

That's one good thing about the Spanish is they do have quite a bit of variety.Vive l'Empereurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785173543457314763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-58183655187661333052015-02-09T14:53:53.669-08:002015-02-09T14:53:53.669-08:00Hi Vince,
Cheers mate. You're probably right a...Hi Vince,<br />Cheers mate. You're probably right and I'm using artistic licence in just having them with a minimal of variation. I decided to treat the Spanish as an army look rather than a unit look, given the lack of data, and with Warmodelling coming back on stream I will add in other units with the Levy look in civilian dress with muskets to add that element of distressed dress. <br /><br />I suppose you could say that the Badajoz boys were set up at the start of the war so might have had a bit more uniformity than other later units, but I wouldn't bet my life on it.<br /><br />Oh by the way, great idea on using the spray adhesive from Tesco, As you will see on the Casa de Salinas pictures the trees came up a treat - good shout.<br /><br />JJcarojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-16374097705409565722015-02-09T14:42:01.969-08:002015-02-09T14:42:01.969-08:00Very pretty JJ, not least in 18mm.
