Not a bad deal. 20 x plastic ACW figures, unpainted in a cheapo plastic bag for £5.00 GBP.

You may have seen the photos a few years ago when we planned to release them painted. That never happened. They're not perfect – we had criticism about the Confederate hats and some of the poses. Also, the plastic is not rigid. But they don't look at all bad and you get 20 for £5.00 GBP….!

There's 2 sets – Confederate and Union.

Each set has the figures in the photos x 2

Well I think they look fine, maybe the left handed Union drummer is the only fly in the ointment for me. This is the sort of price point I expected 28mm plastics to be. If they were all that sort of price than it would blow any position to massed plastics out of the water.
Are these available mail order yet? as I cannot get to Salute.

Brutonby – they will be after Salute. It's a shameless way of attempting to get people to visit the stand which, by the way, is TE10.

Cheers, I would like to go and visit for myself but alas it will have to wait another year, again.

Kudos to EM4 for producing a left-handed figure – we are unrepresented on the table-top wink

I thought troops were trained to shoot right handed – whether they were left handed or not!

@MB – I think you are correct especially where volley firing was concerned. Not sure about drummers but I imagine for a regular military band the same would be true

They look great! At 5GBP for 20? Phenomenal price! The figure poses look fine to me. I wouldn't envy anyone trying to paint that flag though!

" They're not perfect – we had criticism about …… some of the poses. "

I think the poses would be good for Brother Against Brother.

"Also, the plastic is not rigid."

It might be easier if they were hard plastic.
