Help on colourfull ACW units/Confederate militia

[sepoy1857]

The quality of the paintings of Don Troiani, certainly.  But I believe that Ron Field is unmatched in his knowledge of Confederate uniforms!

I'll second that! Ron Field did a set of two paperback type books by I think Time-Life or something; they are a really good as a reference. The two volume Echos of Glory set is also outstanding as is "Butternut & Cadet Gray" by Tom Arliskas. All available from Amazon (US, CA, UK, etc).

While Gringo's Zouaves are indeed nice the Perry's are easy to convert...you just need a sharp blade!

The less you have to convert (i.e., cut off details) the better IMO.

YMMV.

Eye of the Beholder thing I assume.

Great as Perrys' miniatures are there are others that would work better in a person' evaluation since they are mortals, no?

Not a fan of 25 plus mm figures any more (other than skirmish) so my opinion is worth what you paid.

Gracias,

Glenn
