Thanks for your compliments gentlemen!
I did indeed mix the colors on the artillery crews to show they could be used for both sides. They were a joy to paint as are all Pendraken figures to me.
Finally got some new 10mm stuff done for my own (have been side tracked by 'some' other projects for a while) so hopefully I'll be spending some more time with you all on this here forum too!

Hi

These figures and the painting look simply stunning. As ACW is probably my favourite periods, I'm just sad that I have already spent to much time and effort in creating 15mm armies.

Superb painting Rob.
I really enjoyed looking at what's possible on 10mm figures.

I then had 10 minutes to contemplate my comparative lack of painting skills.
Just stopped short of burning all my brushes.

I do ACW in 6, 10, 15, 20 and 28mm now... they all have their merits and uses!

Please don't! I appreciate the compliments but if it stops people having fun I'll withdraw my work from the public eye...
A fine brush, some washes and a pair of glasses are a good start; the will to improve and not be sattisfied to quickly will do the rest!

The work on those figures is just incredible- both the sculpting and the painting

Don't you dare, Rob !

I'm certain that Steve didn't mean that remotely seriously. :)

I'D like to be able to play the guitar like Hendrix or Clapton....Play keyboards like Keith Emerson.....or Rick Wakeman....and sculpt the wee men/animals like Tom Meir or Nick Bibby.

Cheers - Phil ;)

Don't worry, I quickly came to my senses.
I shall continue painting in my quick but "good enough for arm's length" style.
I'll admire the skills of you good folks with a talent for creating beautiful miniatures.

I must applaud this whole effort. Beautiful painting like this shows off the incredible skills of the sculptors, who produce works of art in this scale. I think the figures in greatcoats are breathtaking, the subtlety of the hang of the coats given life by the skill of the painter - Wow!

They look excellent Rob, and we've had a lot of positive responses on the social media as well.  Thanks again for doing them!

ACW17 - Zouaves in fez = 146th New York
ACW18 - Zouaves in fez = 76th Pennsylvania 'Keystone Zouaves'
ACW19 - Zouaves in kepi = 69th New Work; 'K' company 'Irish Zouaves'
