10mm Texas War of Independence Project

Like I needed another project but when I see Dave Livesey abandoned Alamo project for sale (on my 10mm Wargaming Bring & Buy site) I couldn't resist, I've absolutely no idea when I will get round to doing this but another project is born.

I also hope I can paint as nicely as Dave did see his work below 18 September 2018.
