This really floated my boat and so I ordered this and 6 other figures from EVD-Have never bought from them before but can only say they a lovely little figures, nicely sculpted and cast and at 12 Euros a real bargain.

Does anyone have any idea of good reference material covering the Spanish army in the Napoleonic wars?

Osprey do a few books Keith
Steve

Thanks Steve-I have the Ospreys on the Peninsular War and a book on the Spanish Army by Bueno which is pretty poor on detail as a painting reference. I wondered if there were any books published in Spain which give good uniform reference.

Thanks for your help-hope you are keeping in good shape mate, I'm still walking off the cheesecake....LOL

I have the Military Dress of the Peninsular War if that's of use to you?
Steve

Got that one too mate.

There's Stephen Summerfield's book "Spanish Infantry of the Early Peninsular War: UNIFORMS, ORGANISATION AND EQUIPMENT OF THE LINE AND MILITIA"
You can find a pdf taster of what's inside, here:-

Hi to all, this model of grenadier from 1800, appears in the album from the count of Clonard, a pair of different regiments. These albums contain infantry and cavalry from the ancient era to the end of XIX.
