Title: just a lil teaser pic...pointless really, ACW Tigers
Post by: Daryl on 04 October 2012, 07:45:43 PM
Finished a bunch but just ordered some more packs so wont finish anything now until I recieved and painted them... as I like to combine as many poses as possible.. personally I like to see firing and advancing poses all together on the same base..

Anyway the start of my Lousiana Tigers... maybe taken a few liberties with the colours but I wanted to get a highlight contrast.

Heres a naff pic to show whats coming.  ;) ;)

btw..is the Zouave flag pole really small or is just mine?

Good job on these. I have some 20mm versions of these on eBay at the moment. Not sure about the flag pole question, but I often replace with reshaped and cut down paper clips plus super glue. Works well on 10mm.

Look very good. I think the consensus nowadays is that the jackets were indeed more likely blue than brown.

From what I've read they apparently started out with blue ones at the beginning of the war but due to bad dye they quickly faded to a drab brown before they were completey worn out... for what it's worth...
