Back in the Saddle Again



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.

    The 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.

    I love the way the unit has turned out.

    All the best,

    Bob

    Lovely 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.

    Thank you gentlemen all for the kind words on these old warriors. I figured a rough & ready paint job for rough and reading fighting toys.

    Not sure about veterans though, more like a green regiment formed from old men.
