Lovely ;)

Thankfully not a period I'm into or I would have been having to play the 'Must resist' game again!

Looking really nice!

May i ask what system they are based for?
Title: Re: [ACW] Union army WIP
Post by: Glandalf on 08 December 2012, 11:19:11 AM
Own one. Bases are 40x20mm, like Warmaster, DBA or similar. 2 Fire and fury bases can form one of these.

thx for the response!

Do you happen to have any experience with the polemos ruleset on they came? Been considering it for a while.

Talking about the flag, some folds would look nice.

Or glue it the other way...

Yes, I want to change the flag. Is printed in a very thick paper, and I cannot give any shape to them. I'm goint to print new ones in regular 80gr. paper and change it.

Nice stuff!  Love the General or the officer.

Did you change up the color of the blues in the trousers, or is that just the way the light is hitting them in the shot?

The colour of the trousers looks like fluorescent or something similar  ;D
Don't know why, but my camera don't catch very well the blue colours.

Excellent! =D>

I always paint over flags with pva glue (white glue) before they are attached to the the models. This has the effect of stiffening them and allows for bends to be folded into the 'flying' colours with the aid of a tool such as tweezers.
