Like them a lot. I can see them in a range of scenarios already.

They're nice, I think a couple of people came by our booth at Historicon and asked who was making some Irish. I guess it was you. :)

Really nice miniatures. The IRA guys look really cool. Perfect for lots of different uses. And the RIC look just like the tough cops having to face well armed opponents. Lots of character in all the miniatures. Well done!

Thats a good idea Grimm!  I think with the proper painting they could very well work as Mexican troopers! :D

Beautiful sculpts as usual Paul! :-*

Did they have Lee-Enfields in Mexico?

That's the kind of detail about their suitability that will bother some people, but not others.

I am just waiting for my sculptor to finish Zorro's horse. I should then be able to show you a couple of shots of the greens in a week or two. Coming next Mexican cavalry, mounted and dismounted. Although these will be for the early period circa 1820s-1840's :)

Zorro would certainly be knocking on a bit by the time of the Revolution! I reckon that would be "Great-Grandson of Zorro!"

Many Men have worn "The Mask of Zorro"!  :)

I still have a strange plan to have a Zorro (on Tornado) Vs The Governator (in Hydrogen Hummer) game sometime.

The Pulp Miniatures Germans in peaked caps might work better as they have Mausers.
