Here are Mexican civilians from the nineteen century at a very festive occasion.
The mariachi musicians and dancer perform in the center.
The ladies and gentlemen surround the performance.
These figures are sold in groups of four.
There is also a Mexican household gear (bg-bhmex65-household-gear) and a tax collector set (bg-bhmex63-tax-collector-set).Sorry about the simple background and bases. I painted photographed these while away on vacation and did not have access to my usual modeling materials.
Here is a another view of the performance and the spectators.
These figures are painted with Army Painter Speedpaints which are acrylic inks that are more saturated in the low levels of the model and less saturated on the high levels. Then the details of the model are highlighted with standard model acyrlics such as Army Painter Warpaints.
The bases are metallic flat washers with some spackle texture on them to hide the mini bases. I did not have some of the rather nice molded bases, so I painted these to resemble terra cotta tile.
Here is the Mexican mariachi band (bg-bhmex62-mariachi-band) from Brigade Games.
The stripes on the shawls and the flower embroidery on the red dress are standard model acrylics.
Here are Mexican gentlemen (bg-bhmex60-male-civilians).
The disinguished caballeros on the ends are in their finest suits.
The hombre with the pancho is modeled after the pancho of Clint Eastwood "A Fistful of Dollars".
The señor with the bottle looks a bit more interested in drinking.
Here are Mexican ladies (bg-bhmex61-female-civilians).
They were a bit involved because of all the fancy textiles,
although it did allow me to used some of my more fancy paint colors.
The one woman in black is either an old matron, or perhaps she is in mourning.
