Ha!
I've gotten some mail about this this morning. So, here's the story:
However you feel about the a certain movie, it was filmed in my back yard, literally. I grew up in South Carolina and they filmed this in and around my home town. There are a couple of scenes that take place on land we used to own.
A lot of my friends were ACW reenactors and the production company slurped some of them up to be extras in the film. Muskets are muskets, right? They had a lot of fun. A few weeks ago I was talking to one of them and he had mentioned that after all these years some of them had finally gotten into gaming. I had tried to prod them into it when I still lived near them and they have finally learned that running around in the woods with muskets is a younger man's game. Dice are so much less work.
So I commissioned tidyfiguremaker to do this sculpt so I could cast it up and send a bunch of them home to my old buddies. I'll most likely start selling it in late July. I'd like to get them theirs first!
