When I succumbed to the Nappy bug I decided to do 6mm, but if I was doing a larger scale, now, I would go straight to 28mm and not do figures like this 20mm Falcatas.

They were Spanish, raised in Seville, and named after Spain's capture of the town and fortress of Campo Mayor. This unit saw a lot of action, and was later reclothed in a British design of uniform during one of the many reforms of the Spanish army.
