Whew, good as your figures are     - 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... 

Gracias,

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!

[gringo]

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
