I've just up loaded photos of my sharpshooters officer conversion, he started life as Joshua Chamberlain from Dixon, I'm rather pleased with him! I removed his left hand and scratchbuilt a new one, including the pistol he is carrying, I also gave his face a little bit of green stuff, just to alter his appearance that little bit more! link so check it out let us know what you think? Does he pass muster! So thanks for looking cheers for now bracken

A great figure.

For kicks and giggles, you should mount/add a large diameter telescopic sight (made out of plastic or brass) on top of that pistol.

(He is a sharpshooter officer, after all.)

I have always loved Dixon ACW minis. Nice conversion.

Cheers guys, got to admit I think I got this one right I was going to wait and get him based before I posted pics, but I couldn't wait, glad you all approve.I think the green uniform and the brass fittings just complement each other really well, I've almost finished the wharehouse so pictures should be posted real soon, and just as a slight distraction I'm basing the first batch of my gripping beasts plastic saxons, so a new sub album is calling! So cheers for now bracken and thanks for looking!
