Mexican Workbench

A recent random conversation with chum Dave about Mexico inspired me to get a few painted for the Maximillian Adventure from the lead pile, there are plenty to go at.

Not loads completed here but its a slow burner this one, happy to add a few bits here and there until it starts to take shape and they are generally easy to paint.

First figures are a few Mexicans, both regulars and Militia, a mix of manufacturers.

These first three are Foundry miniatures probably will be regulars but the middle figure I guess can pass for both regular or Militia.

These two regulars are pinched from the Perry Triple alliance range and Gringo40s Mexican Adventure respectively. I think they mix in quite well.

I have also added a few Legionaires, these are all Foundry figures from the Camerone range.

I like how characterful and dynamic these are, it does though make them harder to mix with other ranges so I will be keeping these in their own battalion and not mixing ranges on bases. The Gringo 40s might mix in at a pinch.

Most of the figures in brimmed hats will be light buff as straw hats, I did want to get the odd one in a different colour mixed in though hence this chaps grey one..

A further Legionaire, a few more and I can start thinking about basing some units up.

Two more Mexican regulars both from Foundry. Reckon I need a good mix before I think about which figures fit with which.

This figure is great as a leader or just a Vaquero, again really characterful, I have used European skin tones to suggest this is a Don of Spanish origin.

With a decent sized order going in to Gringo 40 s for more of these guys watch this space for more French and Mexicans.....eventually.
