American Expedition to Venus

[Dewbakuk]

Excellent work Ray.

I finally finished the core of my US Marines. Will hopefully get to photograph them at the weekend. Thanks to you I will now have to look for figures for a 'coloured' regiment  . However, before I do that I must sort out some armoured support for the marines.

The Perry's do a set of heads for 'coloured' regiments, they're ACW, but the kepi continued to be used by some troops for quite some time.

They are fantastic. What a photogenic blue and the yellow sets it off gorgeously. Awesome stuff all round.

Cracking paint job.
Have you converted these or are they straight out of the packet?

Your use of british colonial cavalry just teases me to think about CS colonial troops

[argsilverson]

[Dr. The Viking]

Really nice. Too bad they won't get to fight my Prussians. 


(I'm lazy and think that people should always write where models come from when they post pictures.)

Yep...

There right out of the packet.  Damn nice mini's, very detailed.  You can even see, quite clearly, the "NC" sculpted on their helmet.

As a sidelight, I painted the horses using the Foundry Bay Brown and Dusky Flesh Triads.  The Sargent, for example, is riding a horse painted with the Dusky Flesh Triad.  Easy peasy painting and a good result.

Really happy with the way they came out overall... glad a few of ya'll liked them too!

Next up... a couple steam tanks.
