55th New York Infantry - Gilder Style!

 Moving on back to the Classic 20mm ACW collection I did fold and bought one last Gilder unit, this time the 55th New York.


Once again they are (my favourite) conversions from DN3 Napoleonic Belgian infantry with converted FN1 French Napoleonic officers and an Airfix standard bearer.



I plan to continue working on this project for the foreseeable future and try and ignore all other temptations! Famous last words indeed!

  4. These are very nice - I like the uniform. Weren't a lot of the 55th NY French immigrants? Maybe it was somebody else - mumble...

  5. What other temptations? Surely nothing could be as tempting as more like these!
