"Sash and Saber Union Command with GMB Flags" Topic

I've been working away on my ACW project the past three weeks. You can see the fruits of my labors on my blog: link

If you don't want to follow the link, just know this: GMB flags rock.

Inspiring!

I think the flags and command groups look great – I also thought that the white uniforms came out very well.

Like them too…

Great Stuff scomac!

GREAT job, Somac. They look crisp and clean, exactly how toy soldiers should look. And who DOESN'T like seeing all the flags in one long line?!

Here is a similar "money" shot a friend of mine (Muzik212 on here… I think is his posting name?) took of slightly less than half of his Federal collection flag bearers. I keep getting on him about taking a shot of his entire collection, but getting them all set up is a task.

Wish he would get them all set up for once:)

Here is his blog; he doesn't update often, but looking through it you can find some great shots.

Anyway, they look fantastic, and I enjoy your blog greatly. In fact, I might link it on my own blog, if you dont mind!:)

BTW… so is there a civil war wargamer out there who DOESN'T have an Irish brigade flag in their army?:) I think I have maybe… eight.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent work. I am also doing Sash and Saber 25mm and using the same Old Glory flag poes and GMB flags.

I have not decided on basing size yet, but i really like yours.
One question, you sat you are using Litko 3mmx30mmx40mm rectangles, but then further down you say you are using
40mm x 50mm. Did you switch from one to the other?

Very good work and very good photography also! You know what you are doing!! Thought the cords on the flags might be gold, but I could be wrong since this is the ACW , after all, and all things are not only possible, but also likely!

Lord Ashram, link away. I have enjoyed your blog very much. I had perused your friends blog before I started this project. It was one of the things that inspired me to try ACW in 25mm.

WarWizard, I am using 30mmx40mm bases for the infantry. The 40mmx50mm bases are for cavalry. I edited that post to correct it. The 30mm frontage should work very well for Guns at Gettysburg, which recommends 15mm of frontage per rank.

docdennis1968, I too had thought that the cords would be gold since, after all, they're gold on every flag I see around me. But then I saw that someone had painted them blue, so I checked my Osprey on Union flags. The cords were interwoven sky blue and white.

Thanks for the base info. Are you basing any dismounted cavalry?

Scott,
As always, beautiful work! I may have a few cords to repaint…

I really love your blog. Like you I go for a mix of figures in my French 28mm regiments. I have Connoisseur, Hincliffe, Front Rank, Elite and others mixed in together. I give my FR friends heaps about their fat infantrymen.
