My first foray into 10mm! ACW Confederates

Very nice - the new basing is excellent 

[Leon]

Excellent work, and agreed with Nik, the new basing looks better.

[Hertsblue]

Yes, less is more, if you see what I mean. 

[Nav]

Thank you for all of the nice comments everyone! 

I FINALLY got around to finishing a command stand for the original unit.  I also changed up how I based the original stands - I think I like the new way better.



Left is new basing, right is 'old' way


Thanks for looking!

Was that battle flag out of the pendraken ACW confederate battle flag pack, by the way i really like the figures.

Thanks very much!  Yeah, it came out of the Pendraken pack.  Ive shaded and highlighted it very lightly.

[jdeleonardis]

Just thought Id share another group of Confederates ive done in the last week or so.  Mostly Pendraken, but there are a few Blaze Away in here as well (hope thats ok?!?).

These are based for 'Piquet: Field Of Battle'.


Ive ordered a small lot of the 'new' ACW figures and I intend to make them into Hoods Texans and some of JEB Stuarts cav.

Very very cool painting band basing! 

[Leon]

Very nice work!   

[seano1815]

Great job I like those a lot, put mine to shame, well done

[Hertsblue]

Very nice indeed.

I am a bit obsessed with flags.
The way they fold...

If you look at these pictures, there's almost always some kind of diagonal fold across a flag.



You could use fine pliers to add more folds...

[Leman]

Excellent painting! Flag folds can be tricky - I find folding before the glue dries, and being quite severe with the folding, works best as the flag inevitably springs out slightly while the glue is drying.

[Womble67]

Hi there
          Very nicely painted figures.  But I do agree with Barbarian, that flags look much better for being folded and a little bit of battle damage added.

Take care

I like 'em lots !
And where did you get the graduated paper from JDL.?
Been looking for some of that for ages.

Cheers - Phil

[jdeleonardis]

Thank you all very much!  Yeah, I agree about the flags, but to be honest, I cant do them for sh!t, so I have gone to just doing one little 'wrinkle' across them.  I find that Im either using too much glue or not enough glue and the print comes off and its just a mess....

Hey Phil, is that for me?  The background?

I did that myself.  I created an image through some free piece of editing software I have, and then printed it out on the color printer at work.  I may still have the file if you want me to send it to you?  If I dont, I can create one easily enough...
