Hi Guys

Time to take the plunge....

This is one of many I've been working on since June and finished...more will follow...once I've figured out how to photograph them properly...



I have based all my figures at the moment on 1" square ply - I find it easier to work on them.

I intend on re-basing them in groups of 6 for Fire and Fury gaming....so may opt to show photographs of these instead...

The photography looks nice and crisp, you just need more light! From what can be made out the paint job looks great though.

Thanks Aaron

I use Vallejo with the new GW washes and the Don Troiani books as main reference guides.

Ah yes, Don Troiani! Buying one of his books got me back into ACW after many years away. He's the best reference around, IMO.

Nice Job. I look forward to seeing more.

I agree. I've never been disapointed yet when buying his books.

Very nice. :) redoubt I believe? I really like their ACW range, so many options to build units with no two figures the same.

Yes Malamute  100% Redoubt...and there in lies the hook...I've done about 60+ figs...2 of their ragged reb regiments, some of the casualty figures (rifle and cannister damage) to add a bit of variety when basing them... plus 2 gun crews...all I have to do is just add the heads !!
