I was clearing up my increasingly cluttered table when I came upon this figure, mostly painted. The figure was (I think) meant to be either blocking or about to club someone. A pose I hadn't seen in an ACW set. (According to Plastic Soldier Review he's from an Accurate set.)
I didn't have any room for another regiment, and I didn't feel like prying another figure off a base to replace it with this guy. So, I cut the musket away from his left hand and using a little soldering iron to coax the right arm to twist back, then finished painting him.
He'll now be another casualty marker for when a stand is removed after receiving 6 hits.
An excellent idea imho.

Yes, a great way of using a surplus figure. I do wonder, though, whether his 'red badge of courage' would be so visible immediately after he has been hit - artistic licence to make clear he's a casualty?
