Mexican Army
« on: February 22, 2013, 21:46:25 »
I decided to make this Mexican Army soldiers, based on the game "Red Dead Redemption"
After some search on internet, I've discovered this was the uniform of Trooper - Corp of Rurales - between 1862/1863.
I hope you like it.
Greetings
Leonardo

These guys look great.  Red Dead is one of my favorite games of all time.  Maybe you can make Col. Allende.

I live in Brazil and here it is very difficult to buy parts to customize Playmobil.
If I find a body to buy, I make Col. Allende.

I don't know the game, but I like your customs, especially the way you've made slings for the rifles.

I've no knowledge of army uniforms from this part of the world, but its nice to see a different uniform for a change ;)
....btw, are these rifles of the same period with our old playmobil rifles or they represent earlier or later rifles?

Cheng,
These are new rifles that come in sets 5245, 5249 and 6278
I think they represent rifle of 1850/1870.
Here is the image.

mucho gracias Leonardo!
I must buy some of these rifles then! they are suitable for ACW then?!
and also for sharing the drawings!! I suppose DS will sell those straps separately. If those refle straps are rubbery, they might snap after a few years :-\
