Aah this is turning out to be super charming! I love the amount of wear and tear showing brickwork, it makes it all feel so much more lived in and thus alive.

The Cacti are all completed now with various scratchbuilt versions of tall Saguaro and a couple of multibranch Mexican Giant Cacti and an example of a squat Barrel Cactus. These are supplemented by Peter Pig cacti castings... I have not yet thought of a way to model Prickly Pear in 15mm, the branches of the other cacti were tricky enough...

Working on an abandoned mine

Good start on this mine of yours  ;) I'll be interested to see it completed.

Industrial installations are good ideas for terrain elements.

Some minor set dressing, foliage, stone scree and random rusted metalwork and it's good to go...

Great objective marker! We all know the abandoned mine is where the bandits hide out/ the treasure is hidden.

Another scenic military objective. A 15mm military WW1 period camp with all tents made out of hand sculpted styrofoam...

More of a Western feel for my Rancheros - a scratchbuilt wind pump, water troughs and fencing. 15mm longhorns from PeterPig... tree from a Woodland scenics armature with sea foam and flock...

The small Mexican Navy do not get much of a mention during the Mexican Revolution. Any mention is largely confined to their activities around Veracruz but they were also active on the Pacific Coast trying to prevent Revolutionary control of lucrative ports like Guaymas and Mazatlan down the Pacific seaboard. A number of landings were made in support of Federal troops in an attempt to slow the advance of Gen. Obregon down the Western coastal strip.
Harbours were often sheltered within lagoons protected by sand bars with smaller fishing ports dotted around the coastline and one or two prominent towns developed from the exchange of material from neighbouring mines and ranches.
This is a more ambitious scenic build still under development.. a 3 foot wide stretch of coastline with small harbour and beaches for gaming small coastal raids and landings. A few tiled buildings give it a Spanish colonial/Mediterranean feel. The added architectural details and eventual decoration will hopefully convey the cramped feel of most harbour fronts with stairs suggesting upper apartments and a change in level. There will also be shutters and window grilles and the odd balcony. The modular build allows for the addition of other buildings etc to the landward side. A Naval landing force is composed of PeterPig 15mm figures and a WW1 period steam launch with a couple of ship's boats with a landing force drawn from Colonial-WW1 period Naval ratings painted up in tropical uniform.
