Post by: Frontiersman on March 31, 2011, 04:02:38 AM

Is there a manufacturer out there that does Mexican Revolution in 15mm?

Yes, LKM Direct has the QRF range - most of the 19th century Mexican conflicts are covered - and they provide stellar customer service, at least in my personal experience of many orders over many years.

Oops, that should have been the Friekorps range (they do have QRF but those are more modern.)  :?

The Mexican Revolution is a twentieth century conflict, not a nineteenth century one. I don't see it listed under the Freikorps listings, though I do see the US-Mexican War and the Texas War of Independence. Am I missing something?

 :( :o ::) :? o_o  <state of mind.  I guess I am the one missing - some brain power.  I guess I didn't think about the actual time of the Mexican Revolution.  But there still may be figures in the range suitable - or as close as I can think of anyway.

I don’t blame you one bit.  Your reply made perfect sense to me!  :)

Years ago, when I couldn't find anything else, I started converting Old Glory 15's,

Boers & Boxer Rebellion mounted US for 'Non-uniformed' units
and Boxer Rebellion Japanese cavalry for Federales (wearing  a sort of Samur Kepi)

and Russo-Japanese 'Japanese' infantry for Federale inf.

Couldn't find any French 75's for the artillery.
So I converted German W.W.1 77's (because no one seemed to be stocking actual W.W.1 French 75's)
And then I found some W.W.2 French artillery 'game pieces' from some board game up for sale online... Somewhere.
They weren't sculpted as well, but looked more like French 75's.

Started all this YEARS ago, and just resumed efforts to finish them up.  Which I suppose is why I noticed this post ?

Good Luck to you,
MW

Just Remembered,

None of the figures listed have sombreros.
However, I think that OG has Mexican Inf. from the Mexican-American war in sombreros.
I used a bag of these with the bayonets cut off.

Also, pressed their sombreros into oil based clay to create a simple drop mould.
then caste up sombreros to put on some of the above mentioned Boers.
