I had it drafted up then realised I wouldn't get time to take pictures for a parade for a while, so I rewrote the post. When I pressed publish all the old text published and the new was gone! I guess that emphasises the importance of the save button.Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-29285833679714382682019-06-07T07:03:44.100+12:002019-06-07T07:03:44.100+12:00Thanks Aly.

I think the Spanish can be well and truly put to bed - or at least in their plastic drawers - for now and I am have moved on to the completion of another couple of projects, the results of one will probably be seen after the weekend.Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-517110504190217122019-06-06T23:03:23.966+12:002019-06-06T23:03:23.966+12:00Sky blue and yellow really is the perfect combinat...Sky blue and yellow really is the perfect combination.

It has been an interesting collection albeit a little larger than the original plan of twelve battalions one regiment of cavalry and a couple of guns. Thank you also for pointing out my "parade" error.Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202191777127653648.post-9443334247291032612019-06-06T06:33:14.608+12:002019-06-06T06:33:14.608+12:00Your Spanish Army is truly a thing of beauty.
