About the inf : Good folds on the flags... (obsessed, I told you.)

Flags look daft without folds.

Unless you're samurai.

Very impressive guns sir.

Well that's phase one complete.  I now need to buy and paint some more toys to get VI Corps for Gettysburg with Fire and Fury.

Great group shot sir!

They do look nice en masse Derek as Lemmey says .

That's the plan.   To my mind the major strength of 10mm figures is the speed and ease with which you can get the things painted to a standard that is good enough for use in a game.

Mine are certainly nowhere near as well painted as some of the others posted elsewhere in this forum and also some of the ones being done by the other people taking part in our Longstreet campaign.  But when they're three feet away on the table they look every bit as good.

Looking good!

That's my philosophy these days Derek. As long they are neat and tidy and consistent and I'm happy with them, that's all that matters .

Especially at your age Derek.

You're quite right about that.  I can't even see the differences between my 10mm toys and the excellently painted ones without using a magnifying lamp. 

Very nice indeed Derek 

We're going to try out the army level ACW game Altar of Fredom from Iron Ivan Games http://store.ironivangames.com/altaroffreedom.html

I've knocked up a prototype sabot to allow me to use three Longstreet stands for a single Altar of Freedom Brigade stand.
