CI 001 Lieutenant General Blas de Lezo, Cartagena de Indias 1741

Historical 1/30 scale (60 mm) figure depicting Lieutenant General of the Spanish Navy Don Blas de Lezo during the defence of Cartagena de Indias in 1741.

Blas de Lezo commanded the Spanish forces defending the city against the major British expedition during the War of Jenkins' Ear. Despite the overwhelming numerical superiority of the attacking forces, the Spanish defences and the strategy of their commanders successfully resisted the siege and kept Cartagena de Indias under Spanish control.

An especially interesting piece for collectors of Spanish military miniatures, the Spanish Navy, Blas de Lezo, Cartagena de Indias and 18th-century Spanish Army figures.
