Thank you for the tips James. I’ll give those ideas a shot. And John I completely agree about your thoughts on Imex’s Mexicans. The cavalry set is useful in my opinion, and the Presidials are honestly great, but as you mentioned they’re all on foot! Even if the infantry and artillery were accurate to what the wore in the TWI that wouldn’t be appropriate for the Mexican War anyways. I’ll see if any of John’s suggestions to uploading pictures work so I give a brief rundown on how I created my 1846 infantry, but honestly they’re primarily painted to look like Mexicans.

Dear Asher,

The only way that I know of is to post it as an image using the relatively simple html on/off codes, but the image address needs to be from a published site (e.g. a blog, website, photobucket, or some other site). That is,

"["img"]" website address of the image "["/img"]"
(the quotation marks are so that the html 'switches' will show as text in this message, so merely use the braces to make them work)

You can see the various html 'switches' if you click on the 'bbcode' hyperlink next to 'Enter Message...' when you create a new post/reply.

Please fill the gap re the Western period: Mexican bandits (mounted & dismounted) & Mexican Camponeros. Thanks

Cowboys and Indians are definitely my personal roots in the miniature soldier hobby. A West German Fort playset at age five led to thousands of the little guys
over the years.

It's frustrating; the last few weeks the pictures don't come through. I get the small boxes. Any suggestions?
