Post by: Kingscarbine on 18 February 2012, 08:59:27 PM: Tasty :P I think I'll base them individually so I can use the Perry Carlist War muleteers... Or other figures.

Do you have a pic? I´d love to see it painted.

Post by: Schrumpfkopf on 19 February 2012, 12:12:07 AM: I wonder if peaked caps were a common peasant item in spain/portugal. I think that they not only reused the mules, but a head from the rather nice flag/drummer combo they made for their landwehr.
