Here is a Confederate infantry regiment - number 11 of the current batch I think.
There is just one Union and one Confederate unit to be finished in this batch.
In truth I am a suffering from ACW fatigue and looking forward to something a little different in a couple of weeks.
Good looking result! Better to switch gears and paint something else if you are feeling a little fatigue. I like your single element BMUs.
ReplyDeleteYes I need a change. I have avoided purchasing from overseas in part because of the problem of supply and in part because of uncertainty of employment. All this means that I haven’t ordered any figures since February and have been working on what was intended to be the emergency fall back - the ACW plastics. Although employment is still uncertain snd the supply issue remains...it is time for an order!
DeleteThe jury is still out on the single bases. I guess it will take a game to prove the point.
Nice job Mark, great looking unit!
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil.
DeleteGood looking troops. Changing gears (periods) usually helps me stay interested. It is supposed to be a hobby, after all. :-0
ReplyDeleteI usually try to have a few odd bits and bobs from other projects lying about just to get a bit of variety, but its been nothing but ACW since March...don’t get me wrong ACW was my first love, but I long to paint some red, yellow or green...before the paints dry in their pots!
DeleteAnother nice addition to the ACW collection Mark
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith...the end is in sight.
DeleteFatigue after 11 units... I hit the wall around 3 units.
ReplyDeleteThose are great Mark, a nice mix of uniform and colourings.
Cheers
Stu
But then again you as talking so someone who painted 48 battalions of Crimean infantry in a little over six months...but at least with that project there was a bit more colour variation.
DeleteAnother great addition, and there will be nothing like the feeling of satisfaction once you are complete.
ReplyDeleteComplete...is that a real or fake word?
DeleteI think it is real enough, although I recently purchased another 32 Gauls for the Gallic army I completed early last year. That really only makes them more complete, in my mind.
DeleteNicely done Mark...
ReplyDeleteYou have certainly raced this project... how soon will you be having a game?
All the best. Aly
