Thanks guys, Bookworm the bases are slightly more heavy weight, its six Miniatures to a base.
StoneMtnMinis, I'm working on my next additions this time it's the Blues turn.

Treebeard  thank you. Dixon Miniatures are packed with Character and paint up beautifully  👍

I've added a new unit to my collection, after seeing these guys I couldn't resist adding them to my collection. Dixon Miniatures painted to depict US Marines

They are well done and the Dixons have so much character!
You achieved awesome face expressions, congratulations!
It would be great if you could take some pictures at some lower angle so that their faces can be seen better.

Very nice.

I'm a fan of Dixon and have around 1,000 ACW.  Always great service also.

Thank you it's much appreciated, the ACW is an era I keep drifting back to. It's easy done when these little fellas paint so nicely

Love 'em all - and with a bit of gloss they seem to *pop* too.

Did you add any clear gloss to strategic high-points?

When I started collecting these guys, many many years ago I was using satin varnish and I just carried on using it.

I have a few Dixon figures, nothing like as nice as yours.
Your scenery is nice too.
