Barzso Mexican War figures.

 I finally got around to painting these Barzso figures of US Infantry in the Mexican American War. I had to scrape off the 1808 pattern knapsacks on the original figures. Sad but this pattern doesn't appear in any period images and new interpretations. 

                                  The sources I have on hand.

Here you can see the cardstock slings and one thickness of tongue depressor wood that I added to make these standing men taller than the kneeling me in the set.

After making these improvements I set up my figures.

Barzso only made Mexican militia in Campesino clothing.
