Does anyone have a recommendation on who makes the best 28mm Sickles figure? Perry does one and Sash and Saber makes him, but doesn't have a photo of that model on their site. Is there anybody else? |

I don't recall anyone else making Sickles, but that only proves that my memory may not be the best. Is that with or without leg?  I always kind of liked Sickles for some reason. Seems he had more  andvinegar in him than the other AOP generals. |

anybody who embezzles the money collected to build a monument to himself has a certain charm… |

Not to mention being the first to try the "temporary insanity" defense for murder, and make it work. |

Exactly so! Not a decent bone in his body (even in the amputated parts), managed to get a whole pile of his men killed through sheer ineptitude, but definately a character – kind of like a real life Flashman |

Sickles was a paragon of virtue compared to most of the Other Federal General Officers. |

Perry Miniatures makes a model of Sickles. I only wish they would have sculpted him in the uniform as sketched by Charle Reed of the 9th Mass. Battery. ~Gary |
