Another paint 'conversion' this time showing how the Jacklex 20mm Japanese can be used as Mexican regular infantry, gunners and artillery with a little paint and imagination link |

Ok, so because I am not as educated as perhaps I should be on such things, about what year do the uniforms in question represent for Mexico? Thank you |

Coyotepunc, since they are meant to square off with Pershing's lads, probably 1915-16 or so. The Japanese were probably from 1905 (Russo-Japanese War), wearing a uniform style that was common at the time. So they would probably work from early 1900s to 1920-ish. Grelber P.S. You could probably use them as Balkan War (1912-13) Greeks, with a different paint job and mustaches. |

I always enjoy reading your posts and following your blog. Sterling brush work! I've been interested in this period since I was a wee lad but never gamed it. Hopefully one day. Please keep posting.
Cheers,
