First I've heard of criticisms of these; thanks for the pointers.

After seeing these, I wouldn't have taken it seriously. DAMN fine work!

...
Would look better in blue though  :D ;) lol

The Union line wouldn't have quite as much variation in coats, though, at points, there was so much taking of whatever was available, a bit of dark blue in the picture might well have been 'historical'.

Thanks guys!

 Have you thought about putting a instructional video on YouTube regarding how you painted them?

I have neither the equipment nor the skill with words to do such things

Gorgeous work.  These are some of the best Rebels I've seen.  Well done.

Hi guys

I'm bumping this old thread to show the project progress.

I finished 4 battalions of infantry. Enough to call it a Brigade.
Three "generic" infantry battalions and one batallion of Coppens' Zouaves.



More and better pics on my blog!

Your brigade looks great.  Really inspiring with all the color.  I noticed you are basing them individually.  Which rules do you plan to use?
