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.
So many projects..... so little time.......

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

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.   ;D
