A great set of figures and a flat as well. I've come across these as I have looked at reference for that Carlist Wars on Pintrest, they make a really unusual subject, love it.

You have shown us an impressive array of figures, albeit of the same unit. My favourite was the first one with the cat, but I am a cat person.

Hi Jose, Excellent pieces. Rgds Victor

 

[Spangle Drongo]

did you create these yourself or do you have a source? I am interested in figures for the colonial history of the Americas

Fascinating era, location, and subject matter. You've done a great job researching, collecting, painting, and grouping these figures in the various vignettes. I love them. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Simon, these Spanish troops were in charge of maintaining the borders against attacks by the indigenous people of those areas (Apaches, Comanches, Navajos, Yumas, etc. etc.) in what was the territory of New Spain and which, among others, corresponded to the current states of Texas, Arizona, California, New Mexico, mainly, thousands and thousands of kilometers, founding cities such as Santa Fe, Tucson, San Francisco, Los Angeles, El Paso, Albuquerque, etc. etc. It is a brief summary to put you in the context of this interesting period of history.

Indeed an interesting period and one that deserves a little more representation.
