Today I want to show you my two new Imperial Mexican units and my expanded existing ones. A start on the latter anyhow. Yes, I have taken the decision to expand all my existing three stand Maximillian units to four stand ones. This is the sort of thing we do in the hobby. It accounts for how long projects take.
The catalyst was an ebay purchase. The sort where you only want part of the lot. Likely you have done similar. Anyhow, this one turned out very well indeed. For £10 +P&P I got.
20 various Maximillian figures
A 12 man unit of Paraguayans for The Great Paraguayan War! Amazing.
16 Revolutionary War Continentals in Hunting Shirt
32 Mexican regulars for the USA-Mexican War
I had thought to write off the Mexicans but close perusal determined otherwise. In fact they make great Imperial Mexican Regulars. Two Battalions of them. I was able to add a couple of figures to ring them to strength. You see the result on this page, top and below.
The expanded units next.
Above and below the Egyptians.
Next the Algerians.
The Second Battalion of the Belgian Legion next. They are in French issue uniform. As were many non French units in Mexico. The unit contains QRF, Peter Pig and Irregular Miniatures figures.
That's it so far. Next time we are back with the Valois and a couple of units of Burgundians.
I would be remiss if I didn't alert you to the fact that Irregular Miniatures have reduced their prices. Something to do with VAT. Anyhow, much to please there.
Superb win off ebay OB, you got a fair load of goodies for your £10 plus postage. Some cracking figures in show there, lovely work on them.
