*UPDATE* Confederate infantry part 12 *UNIT FINISHED!*
« on: 31 March 2012, 06:38:02 PM »
Since I can no longer wait on the forthcoming plastic Confederate infantry by the Perry brothers, I have decided to paint up an entirely new unit made up of the old plastic acw infantry set (the marching figs). Apparantly, you can become addicted! Renedra seriously need to expand!  :smt010 Because I am in dire need of some variation, I have also decided on using some metal figures from the Perry line. Normally, I wouldn't even consider buying metals. It is going to be a 24 man unit

In any case, here are the ingredients:

- ACW plastic infantry
- 1 pack of ACW32 Confederate infantry
- half a pack of ACW20 Confederate infantry command
- half a pack of ACW 36 Confederate infantry in frock coats
- 1 pike (to be used as a flag staff)
- Renedra plastic bases (20mm by 60mm)
- GMB banners
- assorted Vallejo/GW paints


I will get back to you on the paints.

Me too, but I think it will be a while.  The Russians and new WotR MAA are only just appearing.  I guess it will be the summer before they appear.  :'(

Well at least Salute is only a few weeks away so we can ask. Unless I bump into Michael before then.

A reliable source told me that the Confederate infantry will probably be released by the end of the year............(same goes for the British AWI infantry which I'm also looking forward to)

unfortunately yes.............they still have their Austrians and Prussian reservists, which I believe are further in the tooling process. but who knows, I think we will get more information at Salute!
