"Mexican Revolution 28mm" Topic

Okay, these are the companies that I know that have Mexican Revolution figures in 28mm

Old Glory
Monday Knight
Gringo40
Outpost

Are there any other companies that Iam missing?

I think you have it covered.I have a lot of Old Glory and some Gringo 40's,for the price you can not beat Old Glory nice figures paint up easy,Gringo 40's are beautiful and more like 30's but so nice to paint,I just overlook the size difference.I think Monday Knight are old Pass of the North minis which are compatible w/Old Glory.I have not any Outpost ,but they look good.

I hesitate to throw this out there, but Frontier had a 25mm range that pops up on the second hand market from time to time. The size difference between them and what is being made now is probably substantial.

You could also add in Chinese revolution figures, like those emade by Copplestone and Pulp Figures. With correct paint jobs, and making sure the faces are painted to look Mexican.

Personally, I don't see the point in buying Chinese Warlord troops with ethnically inappropriate faces, in incorrect uniforms, and with the wrong equipment when, as is apparent from the above posts, there are plenty of dedicated figures available for the subject.

The Frontier figures, if you can find them, are a better match size-wise for the Jacklex and Raventhorpe 20mm figures.

The Outpost figures match OG perfectly, except for the horses, which are much larger and inferior sculpts to OG's.

The Monday Knight figures are true 25mm, so too small to match with any of the 28mm brands, and too large for the 20mm stuff.

You can also mix in assorted Old West Mexican bandits and peons – even those with muzzle-loaders (in moderation), as everywhere in the early stages of the revolution, and for most of its duration in the south, the rebels were happy to have anything that would shoot.

There are also some nicely detailed Mexican troops from Brigade Games.
Lon has the Federales link
the Pancho Villa revolutionaries link
and the U.S. Army on the border link
There is also a Model T Ford with Pancho and his driver.

Oh yes – I forgot to mention those (this time).

While we're on the subject, John M. 'Smokey' Koelsch has just posted to the MexRevResearchers yahoo group a full translation of Miguel Sanchez Lamego's account of the Battle of Torreon March-April 1914, from 'Historia Militar de la Revolucion Constitutionalista'. He and another member have also added a couple of maps of the battle to the files section. An account of a subsequent battle will follow in due course.

And again on the subject of figures, you can draft in various near-contemporary types: Boers and more soberly attired Old West figures can help to add variety to the revolutionary hordes, especially with head swaps, and SAW and PIM(Old Glory) yanks with appropriate modifications can serve as uniformed Constitutionalists and Conventionalists.
