Little House on the Prairie...

 Finished at last! The addition of these three units brings the Union up to strength, for now at least. The 12 figure marching unit are Perry metal figures and the skirmishers are Perry plastics with metal command figures.

I still have enough figures left to add to both sides over time (and I do have a hankering to add some cavalry) but for the moment there are enough figures completed to run a club game.

For the 54th Mass. I only had three heads left to swap and so the figures biting off the cartridge's are just a paint job conversion.

And of course The Little House on the Prairie is the Perry plastic farmstead. I have a few lengths of snake fencing left to paint and the Perry weatherboard church will grace the table eventually.

The next few weeks are going to be busy so I am not sure when my next post will be but if I get time I want to play a quick solo game with my new collection just to get my head around the rules (I have played several games at the club but kindly someone else has been umpire and done all the thinking for me!).

Three Months Later...

So after three months my 28mm Union "Army" is the same size and composition as my Confederates. The Confederates took considerably longer at over a year.

It's the 54th Mass. again, this time marching forward with purpose into the fray also showcasing more snake fencing (3 metres and counting). I do have some figures left to complete - two six figure skirmish units and another twelve figure infantry unit (which is complete but just needs basing). Hopefully that will all be complete by Sunday leaving me to return to the other 20mm "America's" projects which I would like to complete by early 2022.

Snake Fencing And Union Reinforcements

 I have had a few weeks away from the painting table, nothing bad, I have just been busy with other things. This week therefore I was fully charged up to get painting once more. 

First up is another 12 figures for the 54th. 

Plastic Perry figures once more with metal head swaps. I have completed another 12 figure units in fact but have run out of bases. The order is in and so they should be ready by next Sunday. This actually makes the Union army the same size (and composition) as the Confederates. I intend to have a numerically bigger Union force and level up the points by differences in morale.

I have also been working on some MDF snake fencing I picked up on Ebay. When complete I will have 4.5 metres of the stuff!

I have started the Perry ACW farmhouse and the church is waiting in the queue. The 3 month deadline is up next week so all in all I am pleased with the results (despite all the distractions). I am looking forward to bringing them down for club night very soon plus getting back to my various 20mm wars in the America's projects.
