Unexpected Items in the Basing Area

 Following my previous post I was contacted by "Dopplebockdunkel" who very graciously gifted me a sizeable number of Jacklex ACW figures. 

Most are unpainted but there were these 16 Union infantry painted up very neatly and matching the style of the rest of the collection.

I raise my glass to Mr Dopplebockdunkel

All that I needed to do is paint the bases in "my" green shade and apply some gloss varnish. There are another 16 figures undercoated and started so I will finish these alongside the Brooklyn Regiment.

There may be a slight delay with the next full post as I have been specially chosen by my wife for weekend decorating and gardening duties from a shortlist of one.
