The Mustering of the South (ACW) First unit: Conversions finished 18/05

[Romark]

Nice choice,I'd leave the hat as is 

[von Lucky]

Like the drum; leave the hat.

Need an officer riding a donkey though. No idea why.

[Mason]

Thanks, chaps.
 

I shall keep the hat then....

I thought that it may look a little too 'early' for the period, although it is very characterful.
It is going to be difficult to resist painting him as Uncle Sam, though....

Nice work on the conversions. I was sorting the Tejanos for you yesterday and I almost packed that Texian officer for you. Didn't realise you had him already

Cheers, Mama.
I have been looking through the range and there is quite a bit that should prove suitable for the ACW.
There are a few packs that I shall be utilising at some point, so expect a 'proper' order soon.

As soon as I get them I shall do the conversions and, once they are done, I can crack on with a brush.

And since i´m a week soul and cannot help being stupid i will also start my own threat with a ACW squirmishing Project within a few days to get motivation from you to get me paint again.
I will leave the 20mm one for a near future.

I look forward to it, mate.
As for motivation to paint, you will also help me as I need to get my mojo back for brushwaving too.

And they are.

Just a couple more minor conversions to do and then I can get the brushes out and mess them up......

[Elk101]

Cheers, mate.
I received another couple of parcels today so I should be sorted for some time now.
 

Looking forward to seeing these " coloured in" Paul 

So am I.
I just hope that I can remember how to paint.....



Which I should find out next week as I have finished the last few tweaks that needed doing so this unit is all ready to go now.....



...simple stuff.
Just a hand removal, added cuffs, banner pole and a new hand to the banner bearer, the one on the left just needed a little repair work after I bent his arm forward and the other two swapped heads and had neckerchiefs etc added to hide the new joins.

Some of the putty work is a little rough, but nothing a file, some paint and the use of a flag wont sort out...

[Deadestdai]

Mason, these are some lovely ideas and conversions. Your work with GS is impressive.

Hurry up and slap some paint on, I'm eager to see what you've got planned.

[fluffy05]

I admire the detail on the conversions!
