There are pics of my British horse artillery in REPUBLIC TO EMPIRE in both modes. For Historicon, these guns will be deployed in a stationary position so I won't need the limbers. I'll paint up a set later but for the next two months, I'm painting only the necessities!<br /><br />Rafa, I know there were a wide range of uniforms employed by the Spanish. The Osprey series tags the bicorne as the official headgear for artillery from 1808 to 1811, but other illos showed units in 'top hats'. Osprey also mentioned that white uniforms were allowed in 'warm climates'. With so many allowed variations and conflicting source material, I figured I'd be ok... especially since the models are French and will never really be right!quindiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14194306105013871853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937554593589042647.post-127128737612439032010-05-02T18:55:07.053-04:002010-05-02T18:55:07.053-04:00Beautiful figures & from a good Aussie manufac...Beautiful figures & from a good Aussie manufacturer! As usual a great paint job. They really look like they mean business! Spanish artillery usually died by their guns - perhaps deserving an extra point for 'toughness' and looking so good? ;-)<br /><br />Cheers,<br /> DocDoc Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454394616689797734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937554593589042647.post-12892547352943592692010-05-02T14:14:41.696-04:002010-05-02T14:14:41.696-04:00Hi

According to Bueno (the best source for information about Spanish napoleonic uniforms) in 1810 the shako was introduced as well as blue pantalons. If you contact me, I can e-mail you some plates.<br /><br />rpardoalmudi@gmail.com<br /><br />Best regards<br />RafaRafael Pardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482026140017463557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937554593589042647.post-27654383486401720762010-05-02T13:29:03.371-04:002010-05-02T13:29:03.371-04:00Stunning work.
