Some old repainted ACW from Dixon miniatures
« on: 23 March 2014, 12:19:46 PM »
Hi all

New to this forum but I have been lurking around for a while. There are some very good painters on here so a bit intimidating to post pictures of the own works... But I thought I would show you some of my re-painted dixon miniatures ACW anyway. I also have a blog about my ACW wargaming. It is only about ACW and gaming in this era be it miniatures, boardgames, card games or what ever. As long as it is about ACW I write about it. Please feel free to pop over and read and maybe leave a comment or two.

Now for some pictures:

Here is one of the old ones. He was painted for over 20 years ago.

Here he is again but with new colors.

Here is a northern soldier. He is also re-painted.

There are some more pictures at my blog but at the moment the blog has a lot of 10mm miniatures in it since that is my primary scale at the moment.

Nice repaints! I like the colour palette you have used. What we're the paints for the Union figure?

Old soldiers never die - they just get recycled. Nice work.

Hi again
Here are a picture of three more re-painted Dixon miniatures. A couple of more photos on my blog http://theforlornedice.blogspot.se



I really like to paint these old models, they are full of character and have good details on them. The picture are a bit bright, they are a bit darker in reality.

Well thats all for now :)

Big heads!
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.
