Thank you for sharing. You've put a lot into this diorama and it shows. I's great. Could I please ask who makes the models including the buildings?

Thanks guys! The Spanish guerrillas are plastic figures of various makers and eras of time I pieced together along with 2 part putty and parts from Pirates, rev war figures, civil war figures, napoleonic figures mexicans ect... I even used a few parts from WWII G.I.s and cowboys and vikings.

There are 3 Conte pirates mixed in also. They looked like they could pass as Spanish guerrillas also so I threw them in. Here is a link to them in the ruff stages.

The french cavalry are a mix of Collectors showcase and Niena. I didn,t feel like digging out a lot of figures and those were close by for a quick set up to show my new conversions in a quick set up.

The buildings are all scratch built by myself and if you search here on the forum there are threads on here of those 3 buildings in the ruff stages also. Kind of a how to type almost, I talk about how I made them with pics in the ruff stages as I built them and you can also see the other sides of them also.
The nice thing about them is you can just turn them around and you have a whole different look.

I wanted to get some pics of the converted figures up close but my batteries died on me.

You have done a superb job documenting and illustrating this neglected aspect of the Napoleonic Wars. I hope you inspire one of the manufacturers to tackle this subject.

I never touched the monk again since that last post of him, I kinda lost a bit of interst in the whole project and got side tracked with other day to day life problems.
Even the painting of these guys I had finished and primed got side tracked and then I rush painted the whole lot in 2 days. I don,t like how a few of the faces came out and might redue them. The eyes came out kinda funky on a few of them, like I said I rush painted the lot of them in 2 days and it shows.
I guess I lost the fire I had for the project when I first started it.

That's the one I tried to crop the picture around, but failed

Thanks! May I venture a guess-
Zouve body?

Thanks! May I venture a guess-
Zouve body?

The body is from an Ideal Pirate figure and the arms and head are from a Conte Mexican.
The yellow Pirate with the sword in the air was the base figure.

Hey Fish........really impressive work. I wish I had your skills at reworking figures.....and the time to do it.:smile2: Also, I've seen those background buildings in your displays in the past. Did you make those too?

Thanks for the views.........Joe
