(Army Painters) Union infantry (Perry Miniatures ACW)

[General Lee]

finished two units of Union ACW infantry tonight. the usual recipe, mostly base colors and Dark Tone dip bsushed on. The dip is less effective on dark uniforms such a these (obviously) but overall, it looks all right

[von Lucky]

They have come together nicely. I'm just about to dip brush some union myself - I find some touch up is required anyway, but this conflict lends itself to weathering the infantry.

[General Lee]

Yep. Dirty them up

[Mason]

They look just fine to me, sir.
I think that battalians en masse in this period should look just fine with a dip.
It is the massed rans effect that carries the day.
The flags help too.

the diagonal straps along the chest

[Dr Mathias]

Nice work, I like seeing troops massing up like that. Feels good getting them painted, doesn't it?
