I still owe them a few Euros if they want to get in touch. I still have some of the old boxes of 34 Spanish infantry but, sadly, could never obtain any cavalry.<br /><br />I am a member of FEHME (Fora para el estudio del historia militaria de EspaƱa) and have access to their database cataloguing the history of Spanish units (including those of new creation). I have made a study of the Spanish Army in the War of Inependence and have a large library of references, including uniform data.<br /><br />Spanish uniforms after 1809 are not the easiest thing to determine; in fact, "uniform" is probably a misnomer. They were obtained from Britain, plundered French supply trains and local manufacture. Bueno's books are probably the best source material but are out of print and now cost a fortune.<br /><br /><br />If anyone would like assistance, please let me know at info@warmodelling.co.uk (I currently sell the Fantassin Warmodelling range of metal figures) and I'll try to help.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Mike Oliver<br />www.warmodelling.co.ukAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715683666640023762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-64620962150781240592012-06-13T12:43:55.482+01:002012-06-13T12:43:55.482+01:00Thank you, Pjotr - there's nothing about Warri...Thank you, Pjotr - there's nothing about Warrior that I don't like, apart from the fact that they don't match the rest of my armies. Warrior are great if you have lots of them, I think.

If I keep my overcoat long enough, it might become fashionably retro too.

A colourful division you have there.
