Mexican Adventure Workbench

So the Butterfly has me all over just now, with no particular game to work towards I am just painting what takes my fancy, this week Mexico.

Same photo different lighting, not entirely happy with either really.

First Mexican irregular horse is a Knuckleduster Bandido, never seen these before but picked up a  bunch of them off ebay a long time ago, nice figures. Reckon I have about 10 of these. Undecided how big the cavalry units will be though as they operated in squadrons typically.

These Foundry Mexicans were bought painted to a poor standard but worked well as undercoated saving me lots of time. Painted as Conservative/Imperial Mexican troops.

Three Republican Mexicans, you can see the size difference between the Gringo 40's charging figures and the firing Foundry regular. These will need to be kept in units of single manufacturers but both still lovely sculpts.

Meanwhile a couple more Woodbine Turks and a Perry plastic Afghan, just because.

This unit of Turco's is a mix of Foundry and Perry. Bought painted and touched up so it will match my painting style, I will need to add 8 more figures for a 20 man regiment. Pretty pleased with these.

Further progress and again an eclectic mix for Mexico, bit more natural light means the colours a bit better in these pictures.

Two more Chasseurs D'Afrique, the neck cloths are green stuff as the figures actually from the Perry Franco Prussian range,

Giant Gringo 40s figures, very nice but very big, these will be in separate units to the others, they dont mix.

This Gringo 40s Legionnaire is massive, as big kneeling as some of the Foundry figures standing, sanding the base down to hopefully get a mill off and then he goes on a base of all Gringo 40s so he's less obvious.

These Foundry Camerone range will do nicely for Mexican Conservative troops, Re-painted after buying them painted at a  show (Thanks Chris) they came out OK and were very quick to do using the original paint as a base.

I am making good progress with the Mexican project just now so keep an eye out for more.

Thanks for stopping by.
