Hi guys,
Caught the civil war on tv the other day which prompted me to get these out of the cabinet,it was that series along with the book the Battle Cry Of Freedom which propelled me into the civil war collection a few of years ago now its one of my largest collections.
 |
| Birds eye veiw. |
 |
| The figures are all Foundry/Perry. |
 |
| Flags by Flag Dude. |
 |
| Action scenes like this really capture the moment. |
 |
| Union in this collection 36 infantry regiments 24 figures in each. |
 |
| There are 4 Zouave regiments in the Union collection. |
 |
| Again the mix of figures I think adds to the whole theatre of this war. |
 |
| Fencing and trees mostly from the Last Valley. |
 |
| Barn by Paul of Touching History. |
 |
| All painted by the War Office. |
 |
| Not everyone stood their ground some figures skedaddling to the rear. Next up Spanish buildings which are arriving from Touching history so some shots of these later this week. Best wishesWillie |
Inspiring as usual, Willie. By-the-way, what material is used for the tall grass in the "Zouave regiments in the Union collection" picture? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteBloody superb again! I really like the colour tone and finish to your figures. Any chance of a few hints and tips?
ReplyDeleteGaz.
Great looking photos WA.
ReplyDeleteExcellent model collection, and figures. I like the idea of collecting a civil war period army but I just don't think I have the stamina to paint that much blue or grey!
ReplyDeleteLovely Union troops Willie. Very, very nice photos.
ReplyDeleteTop-notch stuff; looks like a museum showcase. Best, Dean

There are some fantastic figures in your collection. Where do you get the flags from?
ReplyDeleteVinnie
ReplyDeleteFlag Dude does the flags,first saw these by chance.
A guy came into a model shop when I was buying some ACW figs, he had these in his car and kindly brought them in for me to have a look.Been using these ever since!
