Spanish colonial militia 1760, Spencer Smith's

[Willz the Wargamer]

Finished these today my interpretation of Spanish colonial militia circa 1760, using Spencer Smith figures with various head swaps.
Limited information on these troops before 1763 but they were poorly funded so my interperion was an ecliptic mix of uniforms.

Now that's a different looking unit, mate. Nice! Will they be seen defending the beaches of Cuba?

Very nice and definitely unusual Willz.
Nice to see some other of the SSM being used.
BTW the ACW figs are useful for these sorts of conversions.

Ooooh I have just remembered I have a couple of hundred ACW Spencer Smith's.

Dug out 30 Spencer Smith ACW figures, cheers Neil for the idea.
All I got to do is a few head swaps and I have a 32 man battalion.

Nice work, Willz! "It's the flags that does it for me ." Now that really is the right spirit! Hmm - next, the flags of Mongolian light horse fusiliers?

Cheers,
