28mm Mexican American War Command Stands

 

Now I really enjoyed these...

I was asked by my mates Michael & Simon at 1st Corps if I would do some command stands for their own collection of Mex/Am war and I jumped at the chance.

The figures are really beautiful and its a much underrated period as it plays really well.

The uniforms are really great and colourful and its like a slightly later look at the tactics of the peninsular war played out on another continent.

Below you see the American commands with 4 figures on the divisional base and 2 figures each on the Brigade bases.

There are both cavalry and infantry commands ...

Here we see some of the bases with a closer look

Below are the Mexican bases again with 4 figures on the Divisional base and 2 each on the brigade bases.

The Mexican bases look really colourful and the variant available in uniforms really adds to the look.

Again both cavalry and infantry commands...

Again a closer look at some bases

Thanks 1st Corps I loved doing these...

MEXICAN AMERICAN WAR PROJECT

For the next project its 1st Corps Mex/am war...here are my first US regulars ...the first six I painted using a sky blue undercoat and then a dark blue wash to get the right uniform colour and for the second six I used a mid blue undercoat and then dry brushed up...I think both works.

As for my first Mexican regulars below I have gone for the 11th regt. and the 4th Light Infantry regt.
