After a few months without a painting desk, I am again set up and took an hour today to spit out another ACW regiment. A few seconds with an exacto knife to promote a private to an officer with sword and no pack. Eight of these, 4 files in 2 ranks, would have fit nicely on each 4cm base but the idea is to have lots of regiments as opposed to just lots of figures so I just let it slide.
I still like these old Airfix guys.
So do I - lovely looking unit!
ReplyDeleteSplendid - the old Airfix chaps musr surely count as Veterans?
ReplyDeleteThe Airfix ACW figures were -in my opinion - some of the best they ever made. They were the reason why my first ever campaign was an ACW one.
ReplyDeleteI love the way the unit has turned out.
All the best,
Bob
I did not believe that these Airfix could be beautiful!You make a great work !! Compliments
ReplyDeleteLovely work - I haven't managed a painting table yet, though I set up my wargames table the other day. Some of the later Airfix pieces are lovely, I'm still in two minds about tracking down a Royal Horse Artillery set.
ReplyDeleteThank you gentlemen all for the kind words on these old warriors. I figured a rough & ready paint job for rough and reading fighting toys.
ReplyDeleteNot sure about veterans though, more like a green regiment formed from old men.
