Hello,
today I'm showing you another plate (No.2 Tiradores de Ifni-Sahara) from the series drawn by Bueno. Furthermore, I will provide the pictures from the first paper folder (front- and backside), which I forgot to include when presenting the first sheet.
Best regards,
Andreas
Hello,
In the 1970s and 80s, paper soldiers experienced a renaissance in Spain. No longer as toys, but as historically accurate collector's series.
One of these series was created by José Maria Bueno starting in 1979. His goal was to recreate the various troops of the 1939 victory parade (after the Spanish Civil War). The plan was for 48 plates, printed by Barreira Militaria in Madrid. Each eight plates were contained in a small folder with accompanying text. Unfortunately, Bueno passed away before the project could be completed. Nevertheless, five folders (a total of 40 plates) were published.
Today I will show you plate number 1, featuring Spanish infantry.
Best regards,
Andreas
Hello,
today I'm showing you another "Spaniard". Even a "double" one, if you will—a printed sheet produced in Spain depicting Spanish soldiers.
It's number 21 from the Barcelona-based manufacturer La Editorial Roma and belongs to the "Constucciones Fernandito" series. This series was printed between 1942 and 1945 and comprised a total of 25 sheets.
The sheet shows nine cavalrymen. As is typical for this series, the figures are very small; the horse and rider measure between 4.5 and 5 cm. This corresponds to a man's height of 30 to 32 mm.
Best regards,
Andreas
Hello,

This sheet dates from between 1942 and 1945. At 4 cm tall, these soldiers are even a little smaller than the previously presented cavalrymen in this series.
Best regards,
