Whew, good as your figures are 8) - glad you working a "personal low interest area" right now. I still need to work off some of your figures on my "want list" as it is...
Gracias,

Well, in the scales you work? (nothing in 40, for 28 see below):
Spanish/Mexican North America [North Mexico (think Chihuahua state,) New Mexico, Arizona, California, and Texas in today's geography] around 1680 (Pueblo Revolt) - 1820/1840 (Mexico wins independence "plus a few decades") - I have Zorro, banditos, Vaqueros, soldados de cuera and presidials plus Apaches, Commanches, and proxies for the others. I also use figures for Spain on Venus VSF, Gothic Horror in Nueva España, Bugs versus Starship Toopers (1970/1980 humans,) and Fantasy.
I have many eras (italics) covered by legacy 25 mm figures. I still add figures that fit in to the theme (the 28 mm figures represent taller people than my 25 mm ones.
I much have converted all my aircraft and ACW (you don't do aircraft) to 1/600th with Napoleonics and SF combined arms being converted as time, money, and figure availability allow.
So while I appreciate your figures in 28 mm and will get some to have personalities, etc., I won't be a major consumer for 28 mm figures ever.
Gracias,
Glenn

Sadly I have developed a weakness for Gringo's 28mm! And am currently nursing a plan to use them with Muskets and Tomahawks skirmish rules. My brave French Legion will now be needing enemies in the form of Mexican Republicans, I fear another order in the future.... No doubt including these new Austrians!
When will we see some pics Ged?

Nothing sad about liking these figures...
other than too little money and time to indulge to the point of madness... ;)

Fantastic! Can't wait to see. Will definitely be ordering some Jaegers when they are out. Got a couple of questions for you in the meantime:
1) Do you have any recommendations for a source of 28mm scenery for the Maximillian period in Mexico?
2) Any chance you could let us know who the first cavalry will be? Very excited about these!
-
Marquis
actually i am hand building some houses for the Era and making
scenic bases with cactus to sell.watch this space
regarding the cavalry its a huge undertaking as i want to do
all the major units and many small ones.......so i need to work out
what i fancy doing first..possibly Austrian Cavalry..hussars and lancers regards Ged www.gringo40s.com :D

Ged,
Would it be possible to know what kinds of poses we can expect for the jaegers? Marching, skirmishing etc?
thanks

the Marquis...............the Austrians are in skirmishing mode and eventually will cover the whole gambit as they were a large corp
with 6000 troops..............

Hi Ged,
Couple of quick questions, how are the Austrians coming along? Would you be able to tell me if Imperial/Republican troops still carried their colours into battle in this period?
-
Marquis
thanks for the comments...The Austrians are at the casters and will be a few weeks yet. i will post the minute i get some hot off the shelves!! :)
colours were carried into battle as captured standards/and guidions are
mentioned in memoires...i have a picture of a captured cavalry standard
of the 2nd imperial cavalry taken by the republicans

Hi Guys. Have you seen those Austrians? Just looked at Gringos site - words fail me. The detail, and what fantastic poses - so different and original - not the usual stereotype poses here. Fantastic Ged - as always.
Best Wishes DaveL
