Title: Small Mexican Troop - Fort Alamo
Post by: Limorrj on May 08, 2013, 04:19:21
Today I decided to build a small scenario in which a small mexican troop is heading to Texas for the invasion of Fort Alamo in 1836.
Hope you enjoy.
greetings

I love these!! I've been really into the Texan war of independence and the Mexican/American war for the last couple of years and I've always wanted to make some good-looking Mexican soldiers. You have inspired me! What is the main body you're using?

Alamo!! I once wanted to make this theme Leonardo....and will do so someday! can you tell me more about your 2 different group of men...those tanned with grey trousers and those fairer men with white trousers (are they from different divisions like the mongol/manchu/chinese troopers in the Qing army?)
....I hope you'll be making the walls they will be scaling soon...and the defenders someday too!
very nice customs indeed!

El Jefe,
I've used as main body this new western line of Playmobil.
This is a artillery set, with red details, like the first ones in 1980's.

Cheng,
I've made 2 cavalry soldiers and 6 infantry soldiers.
Their trousers can be blue, white, grey and beige, and all are from same group.
You can see it in this research.

I did a small Alamo set up about 20 years ago for one of the PMB contests. I don't think I have a picture of it. It was neat, but a few of the soldiers, one or two of the frontiersmen, and a cannon. There is some real potential for this.  Nice job.
