"New to the Hobby ACW Union officers" Topic

Hello all:
This my first attempt at painting historical miniatures; Some ACW Union officers. They look much better in person…

Another view of the one above:

These minis are from Renegade and were really nice to paint. More to come…

That's some fine work! Welcome, and good gaming!

Thanks! The picture really don't do them justice.need to take better pictures

Nice looking figures!

They look very nice! I can tell they are painted very nicely. It's just the bright light that washes the figures out. Try standing them up and highlight from above while taking a pic.

Cool looking paint job, very nice!

They look good. What scale? A minor critique: officers' sashes were crimson, i.e. a dark red, not bright red (scarlet) as yours appear to be. Sergeants wore bright red sashes (when they wore them at all).

Thanks everyone.
I'll try t post better pictures today.
@donlowry: duly noted will try to touch the color up with some crimson.

thanks!!!

Look just fine online, Armchair!

Very nice and animated. Don't worry too much about the sash color. I do 15mm and use a brighter more reddish color as a true crimson tends to be hard to distinguish in the smaller scales. Anyway, by Gettysburg most officers had stopped wearing sashes.

Thanks. As Ive said before the camera doesn't do them justice; I loved painting these minis. Here's a new one:

This one is from Perry Miniatures 28mm (the others are also 28mm).

Thanks,
Jorge
