Beautifully done!

The only minor criticism would be the background. Maybe if you put some trees etc behind the model it could make the pic even better?

Always happy to see well-painted ACW minis and this seems to be the right board!

How queer! I was admiring that picture on your blog earlier today, and then: Bang! It turns up here. It really is a rather wonderful effect. How did you do it? Is it with photo-manipulation or is it 'real', if you get my meaning?

its real...no special effects.  I wired orange l.e.d.s thru the center of each gun and with the addition of cotton, this is the end result.I have a 12x10 battlefield with a small town and both union and confederate camps and everything is wired with orange lights...ahh I mean lanterns. Thanks for the compliment...its greatly apprieciated.
