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.

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.

A most splendid gift, there is much kindness in our hobby community.
ReplyDeleteIndeed there is!
DeleteGreat additions to your project and a lovely gift to get, it really is a great hobby for kindness shown by others.
ReplyDeleteThe world need more wargamers and less warmongers methinks!
DeleteThose look very special and you are special too for being a chosen man!
ReplyDeleteI am now aching from head to toe having cut back and shredded a large bush blocking a view of the end of the garden. Ouch!
DeleteA splendid unit and gift Matt…
ReplyDeleteAll the best. Aly
