I am glad to join this excellent new forum. I dip in and out of wargames figures, because I have limited time for hobbies and other hobbies that claim my time.
One of the great 1/72 releases of recent years has been the HaT Spanish infantry sets.
My first attempt at Napoleonics is the Órdenes Militares regiment (I have just worked out that you need to click on the thumbnails in order to see the pictures full-size!):    |

Nicely Done  thumbnails are best as it loads the pages quicker with large images, if these were smaller they'd probably show as near full size.... I think without checking.. but probably less sharp... |

Very nice job on the very tricky problem of painting all white uniforms.
Very realistic looking figures and they look great En Masse.

Thank you both.
It was fun giving these a go, I just have to find time to do some more!
As it seems there is a limit to images in each post, I hope I will be forgiven for posting some extra shots.

Very nice again, I think you've done them justice and the white looks right.. As far the images go the forum setting is currently to show full width images rather then thumbnails, will look into it when I get a chance, this only applys to downloaded attachments as far as I know... External links may be different.... The limit is 3x1mb images for downloaded attachments in each post, external links don't have a limit as far as I know... And Welcome |

Great work, Edwardian, on this complete regiment with its three battalions, grenadiers included in the first one. Also good are the flags, the regimental one ("Coronela" flag, with the Royal coat of arms) in the first battalion and the two battalion flags ("Batallona" flag with the Burgundy cross).
Congratulations for the excellent paint job and the correct historical research.
Santi. |

Thank you, Santi. Your comments on the accuracy are very much appreciated. I did try to get them as right as possible!
I understand that all three battalions of a regiment did not often take the field together, but I believe that all three battalions of the Órdenes Militares regiment were present at Bailén, though not in the same position. I also read that when Castanos brought regular regiments up to strength, the recruits wore waistcoats and forage caps from the other men. I do not know how true that is, but it would alter the look of the units.
I decided not to attempt this; I thought it would look messy and, after all, a small group of figures on a base is merely representative of a battalion, so I thought that a representative uniform would be best. In any case, I suspect the HaT figures represent a somewhat idealised picture of troops on campaign!
Nevertheless, I like the smartness of these figures!
I look forward to painting more, though I am sure many mistakes are on the way!

These are wonderful. I'm trying to figure out how you painted the blue piping on the chest, looks like murder to accomplish.

Just needed to comment on how incredibly natural the spacing and posing of the figures is. Superb really.

Dear Edwardian,
Congratulation for your work. Will you use such Spanish battalions for wargaming?
Gio.
