Two units have been added to the Spanish this week.
The first is the third battalion from Northern Spain.
Again these wear British made uniforms with bell top shakos, although this time I have “scruffed” them up a bit by giving them a mix of trouser colours.
The second unit is third battalion of the Catalonia Legion to go along with the first battalion. This time the unit has black facings with red piping.
With only two units to go in this project, things are beginning to wind down.
Very nice Mark - I particularly like the Catalonia Regt and their eye catching blue uniforms!
ReplyDeleteYes they are impressive, which is exacty why I have chosen to do the final unit in skyblue too, with bright yellow facings!
DeleteThey certainly do keep coming...
ReplyDeleteA lovely mix of uniforms... I wouldn’t have thought that sky blue and black would be so striking.
All the best. Aly
Thanks Aly. I started the final unit of this collection tonight...well final that is unril Alan Perry turns out something else irresistible.
DeleteGorgeous units, and the blue shades are just superb!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil. You will really like the next unit - sky blue with yellow facings, always a pleasing combination.
DeleteYou've really ripped through this Spanish Army, Mark.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nathan. Yes things have moved quickly...even quicker yesterday, afterall what else is there to do on a miserably wet and cold winter's day!
DeleteYour Spanish certainly keep coming! If the Spanish Govt mustered troops as quickly as you and put them into combat with such alacrity, today's Spanish wargames' armies would be more respected.
ReplyDeleteLove the blue uniforms!
Yes just two units to go now. One us painted and partly based, the other is half psinted and will be finished tomorrow. You will like the blue on the last unit I am sure.
DeleteAnother lovely pair of Spanish units! The Catalonian troops are particularly striking and I like the nicely varied trousers and command in the northern unit!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain. I have continued the mixed trouser theme with one of the last two units, that will be on show in a day or two.
DeleteAnother fine couple of units, and with only two to go it is quite an achievement. I do like a sky blue unit, and the Irlanda with their buff facings always looks striking to me.
ReplyDeleteFinished the last of the Spanish tonight and hopefully the basing will be finished tomorrow. This last unit is another sharp looking sky blue uniformed unit.
