Spanish legionnaire, 1921

[Illa]

Hi folks!
The figure I've painted represents a spanish legionnaire during the Rif war in Morocco, the last colonial war of Spain before the spanish civil war.
I hope you like it!

That’s an excellent figure, beautifully painted - is it a commercial casting, & if so by which company?
The web equipment looks interesting too, similar to British 1908 Pattern - looks like the privately made set by the Mills Equipment Company. Nice job!

Hi there

That's a lovely looking figure there very well painted and presented

Like the shirt colour and the face on him and the webbing and equipt looks really good

Why not enter a piece into Figure of the month (FOTM) and vote in previous month as well by liking

Happy benchtime

Thanks a lot for all your nice comments!

is it a commercial casting, & if so by which company?
!

Yes, it is a commercial one from the spanish brand "Miniaturas Beneito".Is an old model I don't know if is easy to find...

The equipment is similar to the british but I'm not sure if it was the same. Probably was English equipment. The spanish army used this equipment just during a few years during the war in Africa.
Cheers!
