15mm Minifigs/Essex - Napoleonic - Peninsula Baggage Train

I suppose I did get a fair amount of Napoleonics done at around the same time I was doing the ACW stuff. My first interest is always the 1812 Russian campaign (some of that is seen here), but second, I love the Peninsula campaigns - possibly because of Sharpe. I just cannot get around to this stuff, though I intend to. I never thought T would get into 25/28mm either.

Again, in about the 1990's somewhere, I started up what was gonna be a pair of armies for Empire. British v. French. And, as is typical, I do everything but the hard stuff, the rank and file first. (I have some British finished (60th Royal Americans), but not a single Frenchman in this scale.) 

So I started with a baggage train to give purpose to whatever fight was to occur later. There was one last element of crate-laden mules, which I finished up over this weekend. They join the rest of it that was painted decades ago: 

The drovers I did not bother to touch up, apart from a flesh wash. Otherwise, they were painted at the same time as the other elements seen below: 

I see these were photographed in 2018, but they were painted well before that. 

Tempting to touch this up a bit, but I won't. Forgive the medieval era wheels. 

The burros at right are surely from Essex? Correct me if you recognize them.

Together, this is a tempting prize for a competent French commander. Though apart from the drovers, these could be used in any number of theaters, not just Iberia. 

Ah - this older stuff appeared back when I photographed it. You can see that posting along with some insurrectionists and a pair of British light infantry regiments here: One of My Men Became Restless: 15mm Napoleonic, Peninsula War, Pot Pouri
