Restored hollowcast Mexicans

I found these broken figures a year ago in the junk boxes at a local toy soldier show. They are finally finished. They were supposed to be Alamo era figures but have details that are off from what is known of the uniforms. Since they are "toys" I painted them with a simple color scheme with less regard to authenticity.

    Nice rescue for the figures. You are able to see the potential in careworn toys, and sharing is an inspiration.
