¡Hay que FANTASTICO, Yoyei! ... ... ... ... ...

Los arcabuceros are the soldiers who each carried an arquebus (Yes, once again we use the French word in English.} ... ;)


This is a picture of an arquebus ...



The Musketeers also carried the arquebus (which was considered by some to be a "lighter" version of the musket of the time.

Here is a picture of a Musketeer with an arquebus ...




All the best and thanks for the great custom and foto, Yoyei,

We do not have the title "Virrey" in English. Is it the same as a "Viceroy" or is it something different?

A 'rey' is a king. 'Virrey' is a very powerful figure that represents to the king in a new territory. I don't know if it's meaning is the same that 'viceroy'

Thanks for the explanation of "virrey," Yoyei.

Yes a "virrey' is a "viceroy" {lo mismo)...

"A viceroy is a royal official who governs a country or province as a substitute for the monarch. The term derives from the Latin prefix vice-, meaning "in the place of" and French roi, meaning king."

And, your "Virrey" looks very, very powerful!

All the best  mi amigo,
Richard

Yoyei, your customs are wonderful. The detail, and the fine painting job on the armor are great. I cannot wait to see more!

(What type of paints are you using on the armor? It looks very realistic.)
