More for Mexico

The Butterfly seems to have temporarily settled in Mexico, I am getting a fair bit done and enjoying it.

Now these first ones I did wonder about using and I am still undecided, old Foundry range, very nice but teeny weeny small. They came out OK but I will need to see if they mix with the Camreone figures before making a final decision, a Camerone range figure behind them for comparison.

All painted as Mexican Conservative/ Imperial troops.

Two lots of Mexican Liberals on the go. The first two from left are Perry's Triple Alliance figures, the first with a head swap and I am pretty happy with these. Primed in a pale sandy yellow its made the whit painting much easier. 

the other 3 are all from the Camerone range by Foundry.

I cant remember the manufacturer for this figure, its Prince Louis Napoleon of France who was killed with the British in Zululand. It comes with separate heads so was easy to change for a Havelock head. I quite like him and have another to paint. 

Five more Legionnaires from the Camerone range, the first has a head swap for a Sombrero to add a bit of variety. I will have enough for two units of these so will try to add those that could be French Metropolitan troops into a separate unit.

Two Liberal Command figures, the officer from the Foundry Camerone range and the Standard bearer a Perry Uruguayan.

7 more Legionnaires, all Foundry Camerone range except the standard bearer again Perry Triple Alliance.

Another Chasseur D'Afrique from Perrys, I have trimmed the rosette and given the shako a white cover.

Three more Imperial Mexicans, Perry, Foundry Camerone and Foundry original, the size difference here is really obvious.

As I got a bit of sunlight sharing a few more, this will be the command base for my first squadron of Chasseurs D'Afrique, both Perry. 

Another Perry Trooper.

These two Mexican Vaquero's are from the Boot Hill range.

Lastly the final 4 Legionnaires to complete two battalions. Standard bearer Perry from the Triple Alliance range.

So plenty going on for Mexico, hopefully enough for a game in the early months of 2026.

Thanks for stopping by.
