Been revamping my Tex- Mex figures , re-doing bases and chipped paint etc , I had also purchased some of the 'Boot Hill' figures which I had never got painted so I've been painting them up as well. Here we see David Crockett (centre) with some of his volunteers and a couple of Tejanos Mexicans .
Behind them is a MDF church which I have been busy building , it is by 'Sarissa' and is quite the business ! , I find 'Sarissa' easier to put together than the '4 Ground' buildings , they are not as detailed , a bit more robust - but come unpainted .
The 'Boot Hill' figures also come with a mounted version, here is Davy and his posse , behind them is a 'Sarissa' Adobe Railway Station which I have converted into a Hacienda type building .
Technology has moved on since I first painted my figures and I have started replacing the rather sad tattered ones with some down-loaded ones from the 'Boot Hill' site .
A selection of Texian flags - the Gonzales 'Come And Take It' , New Orleans Greys' and the 'San Jacinto' flags . I'm starting to play some games which I will illustrate next time.
Tony,
ReplyDeleteA nice bit of figure painting of the Alemo style- the buildings look great- you've done a fine job. Looking forward to your future game. Cheers. KEV.
I sprayed them white then shaded them with ink , the roofs lift off so they could be painted separately.
DeleteThose look great. What rules are you going to use?
ReplyDeleteThat is rather up in the air at the moment , most of the battles here really skirmishes of only a few hundred men , have a copy of Sharp Practise I got off Ebay I'm reading .
DeleteVery nice...
ReplyDeleteA rather tempting period and a lovely range of miniatures.
All the best. Aly
The Boot Hill are rather nice , most of my forces are Old Glory but the match size wise .
