I Think We Would Have Got On Well

An image that is currently circulating on social media. A Union Officer in a less than period pose of staring at the camera in a serious fashion.

He is on the right side and goofing around. 

We would have been friends I think!

 

Michigan Infantry By Dopplebockdunkel & Me

You wait months for a post and then two come along  in a week!

I have now finished the 16 undercoated figures generously donated by "Dopplebockdunkel" a few months ago. I have managed to match the colours quite well and now have a nice 8 stand Michigan unit to swell the Union ranks.

I have nearly completely finished re-basing the Confederate forces so progress is definitely on the up. 

I am cleaning up some more Jacklex rebels and generally getting a bit more organised as we have managed to remove some of the storage boxes currently filling up may painting and gaming room.

14th Brooklyn Zouaves

 Here are the latest additions to the collection in the form of more Union troops. 

I always intended adding the 14th Brooklyn Regt to my collection but did not purchase the figures before the closure of Jacklex. 

Fortunately Aly's generous gift gave me enough of the right figures to complete this little unit.

 I am continuing the rebasing and trying to step up the painting rate as I really want the lead pile finished by year's end. Fingers crossed.
