Mexican Village Defenders

 My latest submission the the Analogue Hobbies Challenge are these 10 armed Mexican peasants. This is my "entry fee" for the Challenge, the theme of which is the Sam Peckinpaw film "The Wild Bunch".  I'm taking my inspiration from a different iconic western which is probably why you're hearing an Elmer Bernstein tune in the background.

 These are 28mm figures from Foundry (many years ago) that was given to me by Ernie from his Himalayan sized lead pile.  There are seven musket armed villagers, two hired guns and a dozing guard.

 Hopefully, these villagers will pose enough of a threat to get those bandits to move on the the next village.....
 Soon these humble villagers will be off the the Great White North to defend their Canadian pueblo.  Now for a little musical interlude....

  1. Nice figures and colors, Miles. I like the sleeping guy. Yes, the Wild Bunch is quite a showcase of Peckinpah's. Every so often on Comcast On Demand, they'll show "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia" too :) Best, Dean
