Completed Mexicans

The Mexican Adventure projects continues apace.

Quite a bit of completed stuff to share. Firstly two mounted officers from Perry's Triple Alliance Range.

Left we have a Belgian Officer, who will command the Belgian and Austrian contingent, and right a Chasseurs D'Afrique officer who will be my French cavalry commander. 

I painted the first of these Imperial Mexican Lancers ages ago so nice to get them finished, these are all Perry's British intervention force Lancers with head swaps using Steve Barber havelock heads.
Quite a few Militia finished, essentially gives me 4 battalions done now. These are mainly Wargames Foundry Mexicans from the Camerone range with a couple of Wargames Atlantic 3d prints.
And again Wargames foundry with 2 x 3d prints. Just need a couple of command bases with flags.
And a base of Machette armed Militia, will have enough for at least a full battalion of these if I need them, or I can just mix the bases in. All Wargames Foundry.
This is the second battalion of Mexican Imperial foot, wearing the very colourful but equally unpopular Red coat and green trousers uniforms designed by Maximillian. Red was the colour of revolution so seen as a Republican colour hence the unpopularity.
2 Wargames Atlantic 3d printed Legionnaires. The rest are Perry's, 4 are Triple Alliance Argentinians and the rest are Perrys second Afghan War Bombay Infantry with head swaps, again Steve Barber havelocks. The standard bearer is Perry's Egyptian with Head Swap

I like the overall effect.
Good progress, almost half way with this collection.

Thanks for stopping by.

  4. A fascinating project. The almost half way mark which is also where I am in my own project is both rewarding and intimidating at the same time.
    The horsemen are particularly delightful.

    1. Cheers Stephen, agreed, I will feel a bit less intimidated with a gun and a few more cavalry done I am sure.

  5. Great looking figures. Those simple head swaps make some exciting looking units. I have to agree with Max. That is a sharp looking uniform.

  6. Lovely stuff. I bet they’ll look great on the tabletop when they’re all completed. The mix of figures + your conversions really give an irregular, “rag-tag” look to the forces. 👏👏
    Cheers,
