Not to muddy the water, but concept art that I've seen indicates that the figures are 58mm. This may have been the figures in question, excluding the stand. If I had to offer a scale comparison of like figures from another manufacturer, I'd cite matte WWI sets from WB.

Further to Ken’s point, Tenochtitlan (the predecessor to Mexico City) was built on an island in Lake Texcoco.

Remember that the natives of Mexico and Central America were probably of smaller stature than Europeans....This was indicated to me by a Mexican historian during a lecture series on their history.
JJD Aztecs are perhaps a little more slender in sculpt than some of his other figures. I am curious to compare his Conquistadores to other series.

it might be the general direction...
but the three finished figures...
and all the prototypes...
are in fighting poses...
I sent him an email yesterday...
asking about a landing party in a small boat...
and perhaps some small structures...
but he has not replied...

I think John is hard at work sculpting Conquistadores. I would also like to see some archers and slingers.

Mike,
Bro, the Aztecs just did not hang out in the highlands. They ruled a huge portion of Latin America. So, you jungle up your dio all you want. Sent an email to JJ to buy an figure...they replied "sold out", so I am sucking.
I will keep an eye though.
John your neighbor

John, sets 3, 4 and 5 look to be available from a number of sources. So, don’t be discouraged!

Sorry, but as a Latin American Studies major and would be historian in Latin American History, this is not quite correct. You probably mean Central America, not Latin America. At any rate their empire centered around Central Mexico, not Central America, which was the province of the Mayans.

Mike, yes, there was some migration to what is now Central America, as shown on the map you posted. I believe there would be some dense vegetation. I think it would be more temperate along the coast but more tropical as you moved away.

That makes two of us about the weather. It’s supposed to be in single digits next week.
I had hoped to be a History professor but after a year and a half into my Masters I learned that I probably wasn’t God’s gift to the profession ^&grin No complaints though.
