In the past several manufactors made Spanish troops for 1808 upwards, but sadly most of them are gone and are not available anymore:
NapoleoN had a range of Spanish line and light infantry, cavalry and artillery
Falcata had these great boxes of up to 30 different figures
Kennington/SHQ had Spanish line infantry - and these are still available.
So in addition to this here our first set:
And don't forget, Emhar promised to bring their Spanish infantry on the market too:-)
Mensch - das ist aber genau der richtige Zeitpunkt!
AntwortenLöschenI am VERY interested in anything you might produce for early PW Spaniards - dragoons/line cavalry? - light infantry? - mounted officers? 80))
Please keep us posted - best regards

They're excellent, Uwe!
AntwortenLöschenHi MSFoy
AntwortenLöschenI am planning for a little diorama of the battle of Ocana. And since I was missing artillery I asked Uwe if he could help. He contacted Massimo, the sculptor, who made the figures. Right now I plan to add an NCO and a drummer. So you would get a crew set (NCO and 7 crew) and a command set (officer and drummer). To this, I plan to add a set of Spanish infantry standing/waiting and probably a mounted officer and standard bearer. I do agree that Spanish line/dragoon cavalry, generals, staff would be welcome, but right now my other project (Dutch-Belgian army at Waterloo gets priority in 2014-2015. So I do not have plans for more sets before 2015. However the good thing at Hagen Miniatures is that everyone can have the figures he/she dreams of made. So perhaps you could be interested in joining our Spanish army project. The nice thing with Hagen is that the person who pays for the masters not only gets to buy them at production cost, but also gets a part of the profit. So if you're figures prove popular you would have some return on investment. For example: I ordered the masters for the Belgian carabiniers and they proved so popular that I payed the masters for the Spanish artillery, with the money I earned with the Belgian carabiniers. But if your are interested or you want to know more, please contact Uwe.
Many regards,
Pieter (GB Miniaturen)
Thank you Pieter - that is exactly what I shall do.
LöschenUwe - I shall email you...
Suddenly it's 2023...are the Napoleonic Spanish artillery figures pictured above still available? If so, where can I get them? Thanks, Rob (Brisbane, Australia)
AntwortenLöschenHi Rob, many things have changed since we brought them on the market. In the meantime I have my own shop where you can get them and many other Spanish units.
