Thanks

I did another unit, this time, rebs, they turned out ok, but they aren't as neat and clean as the union.


When have you ever seen a neat and clean reb?  :D
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

Hi Gunfreak to be honest, I think you have done a really good job painting those Union and Confederate troops.

Some really nice work there, loved the blanket roles on the Rebs.

As for the plastics, I saw the first run of figures on Magister Militums stand at Crusade the other weekend, very baisc painting.  The second issue I have been informed will be better.

Going on your painting I should stick with Pendraken and carry on painting them yourself :D

Thanks for the kind comments, I did finish another unit yesterday, but now it's seems like I'm about to get the flu, so I doubt I'll be well enough to paint anymore for a few days or even weeks.






Again, same basic paint job, only trousers and jackets get highlights, the black leather is painted dark gray.

Those are very nice. I usually like the rebs better but for some reason really like the way your Union guys came out. Great job.

Thanks, I continue to paint.

I got enough figures for 6 union and 4 confederate regiments, I also got a few cannon, and generals.

So I'm back to painting my 10mm ACW, I did a detour to 40mm ACW and then some 28mm AWI. but now I'm back.

I finnaly finished my 3rd reb regiment, it had been on my desk almost finished for 3 weeks.

I also did a reb battery, but I suck at painting guns, so I hid the battery behind some cotton.

These look fantastic   8).  Your photos have shown me that not only how to paint up ACW armies but I really like the look of the figures and as a result I will be buying some when the new sculpts come in. :D

Very good stuff. I spotted an empty wine glass in the background of these photos ... is that what has induced the "flu"? I've often woken up with the "Flu" on many occasions ... we'll that's what I tell the kids.
