Even More Alamo



















Another view of the Alamo.

I got it from Toy Soldiers of San Diego.























In the early afternoon sunshine the Alamo model looks really great even without being painted. The worn concrete surface of my patio makes a realistic setting. The concrete looks much like desert sands.




















I am using Imex Alamo sets, and their Lewis and Clark, Pioneers, Eastern Friendly Indians, American Revolution sets together with cannons from almost any source.






















As you can see from the close up photo the detail on this set is incredible. The foam construction is lightweight and durable. With the addition of the Alamo / Southwest Accessories from Imex many of the other items needed to make this a really fine model will complete the complex. They include two flag poles, stumps, cacti, and hitching rails. The Pioneer set has women and cattle. There were several women at the Alamo until the end and they had a cattle herd for food.
