Sounds interesting but please try to complement the existing (newer) Foundry range. Especially civilians and irregulars would be welcome

Ahem Ged, There are interests in this period from the opposite gender I've you know. Anyway, what you are facilitating for this period is great. I hope it get loads of support. Having the original Military Modelling article on the Legion at Camerone it brings back memories of making a vignette for this period.

Well done Ged on embarking into this excellent Mexican Adventure.

Bring on "Two Mules for Sister Sarah."

Cheers,

Helen

Traveller

good suggestions, i will of course do irregulars as these are some of the most
interesting "units" and civilians will be needed. my understanding is the foundry
range has been mothballed so to speak and this will be a completly new take
on the period.

Helen

many thanks for the support............Cameron et all is a mouthwatering part of
the range and i hope to do this memorable event justice

And of course the Boot Hill Miniatures Mexican Vaqueros are perfect for Mexican irregulars of the period (as the clothing changed very little between the 1820's -1860's) and will I am sure compliment Geds figures.

Its great to see such a resurgence of interest in all things Mehico! Arriba, Arriba!!

Good news here.I just started painting some Foundry for VSF.Foundry hasn't mothballed the Mexicans or the FFL at Camerone packs ,they are in the OLD West range not the Maximillian range(go figure)

I think the compatiblity issue is a good one.I would be more likely to get the Gringos range if they fit with my existing figures.

thanks Gents will look at the Foundry figures and of course Boot Hill figs will be

totally compatable ...........you cant get enough Mexicans!! viva mexico!!

Best of luck with the miniature range mate. Those models look fantastic!

Good news indeed, Ian Mountain is fast becoming one of my favourite sculptors.

FFL and a Mexican war, as a FFL nut and westernenthusiast its the best of all worlds! Ged, i know you will do Danjou et al justice, just has to be done.
