At Last, Something New

I have finally managed to add a completely new unit to my Classic 20mm ACW collection  in the shape of these Jacklex rebels.

I will tidy up the base sides as I never noticed the patchy bits!

One of the reasons for virtually no output of figures revolves around the state of my eyesight and so I tried a lighter gray undercoat and the use of a wash (from Aly Morrison's recipe). While not as "clean" as Aly's work it was certainly easier to see the detail and so onwards and upwards - I will persevere.

My next new addition will be the 14th Brooklyn Zouaves (my favourite Union uniform).

  2. Wonderful Matt even if they are sporting the wrong colour uniforms!

  3. Looking good! How about treating us to a battle, or at least a parade of the armies?

  4. These look excellent. I have some Jacklex miniatures that I no longer intend to use, some of which are painted. Would you be interested in having these figures? No charge for the figures but help with the postage (in the UK) would be helpful.
