Cavalry ACW 28 mm

Be so kind, please tell me - what are the sizes of the flags?

The last two are cavalry flags, you can guess the relative size in comparison with infantry flags, if this helps.
I have read them in some books I had, but I was hugely involved in my ACW project before 2000.
My project was in 10mm so I had not to be so accurate with sizes, but when we speak about 28mm, we must be.
I promise to run back to my sources and tell you about the actual sizes.

Ok, I have the answer, I contacted a good friend of mine, professional painter who is painting especially 28mm.

All the the given sizes below, concern the flag opened, spread double sided at length, plus the space that takes the flag pole.

According to Perry brothers:
The cavalry pennon of the North is 3,5 cm length and 1 cm height.
For Confederacy, the battle flag of the N.Virginia is 3,1 length by 1,3 height
The Confederate cavalry pennon is 3,5x1,1 cm.

Hope these help. Cheers!

New solders







And new horses

If it's not too late, I'd suggest leaving off the breastplates and cruppers. Inventories suggest they were both quite rare.

First of all - many thanks for your comment.
Your comment makes me think. I am very pleased that my work did not leave you indifferent.

About the size of horses. Yes, I know that real horses are somewhat different. But the size of 28 mm is always a little cartoon. I made horses to fight the cavalry of the most likely enemy :-) the Perry brothers cavalry.
If you make a horse as it really is, then this horse will be smaller than that of the brothers.

I can make any horse !!! Even the horse of the breed that was most often used in the war !!!!








Мany-many thanks for your comment!

To talk about confederation cavalry and say nothing about the people of the Gray Ghost means little to say.

So....
People of the Gray Ghost!

Horses for commanding staff

New figures













In the near future we will create smaller horses. Currently under development.

I like the big horses personally. Nice and sturdy and imposing on the tabletop!

I'm perfectly fine with the larger horses as well. They look like they're taken right off the field.

I really like the shotguns/carbines slung around their backs. If I was to find anything to critizise I think that maybe the hats are a bit small on some of the guys? Like the left- and rightmost ones of the dismounted cav? Maybe it's just the angle though.

Anyway, admirable work all around so far.

The cavalry officer, bugler and sergeant are excellent sculpts, I like also the dismounted figures.
I have only one small objection, I believe the scabbards should be more slim.

Great work so far, especially like the guy firing his two pistols - it´s like a scene from a movie

More miniatures

This is my latest topic (I constantly think about the size of horses). Perry has metal and Perry has plastic and horses in metal are fewer than horses in plastic. I will make a choice of both large and smaller horses. otherwise I just can't sleep at night. It will seem to me that I did not the right horses.

I myself do not understand, but the cavalrymen preferred not high caps

Thanks for the comments. I hope to fix this in the following figures. But it will be harder to pour in the metal.
