No porten bandera perquè crec que els provisionals no en tenien. Tampoc sé si el 13è tenia àguila: va ser fundat a Espanya i poques vegades van arribar suministres a les tropes desde França.
Els colors son de Vallejo i he utilitzat Quick Shade strong tone d’Army painter. Estan a l’espera del vernís mate i de que acabi de decorar les bases.
ENGLISH TEXT
In this occasion the plastic Perry cuirassiers are representing the 3rd Provisional or the 13th depending on the battle. It seems that the 13th wore brown uniforms but I prefer the classical blue uniforms. Some figures have brown pants and jackets depicting true old campaigners. The bugler wears the 1812 uniform because I was not sure how to paint him.
They don’t have a flag because I think that the provisional regiments didn’t have it. I don’t know if the 13th had an eagle neither, it was founded in Spain and sometimes the supplies from France didn’t reach the troops.
The colors are from Vallejo. I have used Quick Shade strong tone from The Army Painter. I still need to finish the base and apply antishine varnish.
Hi Oriol,
ReplyDeleteI look forward to learning more about the war in Catalonia, which I am not that familiar with. I love your painting and the fact you are doing lesser known units like the Spanish Cuirassiers. Keep up the good work!
Tinc entès, que els pantalons marrons, va ser degut precisament a la falta de subministres, per aquest motiu aprofitaven les teles del país, no momés els cuirasers si no tota la tropa en general, com es poden veure en moltes il·lustracions s'uniformes francessos.
ReplyDeleteFelicitats per les figures.
