You know what I like the most about this army Ray? It is that although not historical, it look very plausible uniform wise… It really bring the whole army together. Also, I like the bright, vibrant colors you used. I really like this little VSF US Army. Really good work Ray!

Awesome. I think that, time permitting, you need one more group shot with the gatling for us to drool over.

Indeed!

Painting queue looks like this:

- Egyptian Scarab Operator and Mountain Gun with crew
- Egyptian Guard Cavalry
- Prussian Steam Tank
- Then something else which has been waiting a loooong time to get completed.    ::)

Thanks gents!

The yanks came out pretty good, giving me a nice basic army.  There will be more, but just not in the short term.

Thanks again to everyone following and helping me keep up the painting mojo!

Ray - did you ever get round to posting finshed pics of USS Blunderbus to support these ground forces?

Not finished yet, mate.

Still lacks a rudder, a couple odds and ends, and the base. 

Poor Blunderbuss sits there on my shelf staring at me begging to take flight...  :'(

I was just looking at this topic for some references, but damn, this is too good of an army to get lost in the antiquity of time. So 120 days be damned, lets all have another look.

Yes, lets.

It;s a ruddy beautiful force that was one that inspired my initial splurge of VSF based buys.

Well actually.... I have a newly painted Naval Brigade unit finished and ready to join their fellow Brits Americans.   ;)

So... I'll be posting some pictures, soonishy, when I have a bit of terrain I'm working on right now done  and I'll be sure to include a group shot.   :D 

In the longer term I have another infantry unit and steam tank, both being on the bit unusual side  o_o , also in the queue, but until I get my Egyptain landship done it could be awhile before I get to them.
