The Spanish Ulcer


Hi all

This a commission I'm working on right now. It represents a group of French voltigueurs ambushed by Spanish guerrilleros. The scene will be  based in 5 x 5cms.
The  figures are a mix of Victrix and Perry parts. After a lot of tests and parts combinations I finally came out with this setting. I decided to mix Perry heads with Victrix Shakos, inspired by Ridley Scott’s The duelists, where the shakos look a bit oversized on the actors’ heads. I don’t really know if it’s 100% historically accurate,   but I think it gave the actors (and gives the figures) a more impressive look.
This is just the posing of the figures, now I have to file carefully all the mould lines, add putty in necks , joints between heads and shakos, patches and torn  shako covers, and  all other minor details to give  the figures a real worn battle look.  Well, a lot of work ahead.

I’ll try to update the progress as much as I can.

Thanks watching.

  2. They look great already!

    Is the figure on the floor metal? Where's he from?

    1. Hi m8s.
      Thank for your kind words.

      Lord Hill:

      The metal figure in the floor is indeed metal (FN16 Line Infantry casualites).
      I have reworked the figure, removing the existing arms and placing new plastic ones, with also new hands. I have also bent very carefully one of his legs to adapt it to the new pose.

      Hope it helps.
