Napoleonic Spanish pre-1810

hi, looking for what codes would be best used to represent these chaps?

Do not think there is anything suitable for bicorne troops of the period or their perculiar Grenadier caps

At the moment there is only the very expensive range from Magister Militum

looks like they will need to be post 1810 when they went to british supplied uniforms,  does anyone know if the flank companies had the sholder tufts, like there british counterparts?

cheers

What about the 1792-1800 French Revolutionary line?  They have a number of bicorne figures.  I have never seen a photo of them, so I don't know if they would be appropriate for Spanish or not.  But they might.  And if not Spanish, perhaps some other nationalities.

It was that range i was thinking about but i dont see any grenadiers that would be suitable.

does anyone know if spanish troops had light/grenadier company wings?

Really there is not any range that fit them because the grenadiers wear a special cap ( morrion)

does anyone know if spanish troops had light/grenadier company wings?

No, in a batallion there were fusiliers , light ( the different is the colour of the plume and the grenadiers.

Von Pivka (Armies of the Napoleonic Era) states: "Fusiliers had blue shoulder straps edged red, grenadiers additional blue wings with red fringes, light companies blue wings and green fringes". That was 1812-15.

Hope this helps.

Converting a bearskin cap into that Spanish bearskin type cap looks like it would be a fairly easy conversion using a little milliput.
