This evening I managed to make a bit more progress with the Spanish, or rather Catalucian Elves.

Two grenadiers, two irregulars, two line and a light infantryman. Obviously these are elves, but I have tried to use 1808 Spanish uniforms for ideas… as an example the grenadiers and regulars should have white cross belts, but as they are fantasy, then mine have black.
I actually used Speedpaints for the purple, but as you can imagine I was super careful to make sure it only went where it should go, especially when the uniform was white. Obviously I could have chosen a whole host of facing colours, but I fancied purple.
I still have to work on the white on the uniforms, as can be seen on the grayish leg on one of the regulars.
Out of interest, Shetland had a bit of an unusual visitor in one of the voes near to where I live…

The above is a sperms whale and it is bloody huge, sadly, as it is huge, it shouldn’t be there. I took some better photos with my camera. I will share them on the Shetland blog when I get them off.
The whale is still hanging in there…
I hope the whale makes it back out to the open seas.
The elvish irregulars look great btw.
Cheers,
Pete.

Cheers Pete, the whale had beached once, but is still in the deeper water. When I was down this afternoon it was swimming in circles.

sperm whale? Looks like Nessie to me! I like the Flintloque range and have been thinking of getting some myself. The painting is coming up great.

Cheers David, I love the Flintloque miniatures and probably have hundreds. I like the freedom to paint Fantasy Napoleonics
