Very nice brushwork on great figures. I love Copplestones 7th Cavalry, such great characterful figures. ;D

My only observation would be the barrel length on the revolvers. I think they should be filed back to nearer the fore sight. They would look much more like long barreled Colts if you do that.

Please don't think me being negative about your work. Whenever I see these painted I always think the same thing. :)

Nothing wrong with a strong set of jazz hands while in the midst of the red man.

Well he did go a bit loopey in the thick of the action.
