Nick's new ACW project

[Yankeepedlar01]

As with your other excellent officer conversions this adds an extra dimension to each unit.

Just received my order of the new Crusader ACW figures, very nice sculpts 

No doubt I will be ordering more

With you tuco74, same happened to me.

Thanks Mindenbrush, the credit is all Mark Sims though, we just make them available.

I put these pics on Facebook, I'll share them here.
It's more pics on Fry.

He's an interesting character, fought in the Mexican-American War, became a California 'Forty-niner', then a lawyer, then fought as a mercenary in Nicaragua, settled in Alabama then signed up for the Confederate Army. Survived Antietam, Pickett's Charge and other engagements to see out the end of the war.
I decapitated an ACW officer figure, pinned a Viking head to it, greenstuffed his unruly hair to the sides and painted him up as the commanding officer of the 13th Alabama.

These are some great new additions to this range and your collection.

Nice work on Fry and co (both conversion and painting).

I've now acquired/ painted more miniatures than I can use in an evenings game for this Antietam project. But I've still got the bug, so this is next:



It's going to have to be Perry Miniatures this time. If it starts, I'll do a new thread. Nick's NEW new ACW project.

This is excellent news! Cheers!

Hmm. I suggest bed rest. And a good stiff drink.

[nicknorthstar]

Stiff drink yes, bed no, I'm off to the pub....

One of my favourite prints. This will be a lovely project Nick. Well done on getting this started.

Best regards,

Got the figures. Nothing will start this weekend, but if it kicks off I'll start a new thread: Nick's 1st Bull Run project.
