"My 10mm American Civil War Project" Topic

Like many other wargamers I'm nearly buried up to my neck in unpainted lead and never seem to be able to complete a project as I am constantly flipping from one project to another.

So I decided to hire a professional painter, to complete my ACW armies. The service I settled on was Turbil Miniatures which is run by a husband and wife team and they gave me an estimated turnaround time of 3 months. They also said they would give me regular progress updates.

So my first job is to clean up the miniature's and then post them to Turbil Miniatures so they can begin painting. As soon as I receive a progress report I will update this post.

Congrats on your project. You found a pair of very reasonably priced painters. I have thought about doing the same thing for a project; but it up and ship it out.

Very inspiring.

Okay as promised, I received an e-mail from Turbil Miniatures last night to inform me that they had started on my figures. I must admit I'm a little bit excited about this and can't wait to see the results.

Hi All
I received an e-mail from Turbil Miniatures today to inform me that my Union figures should be with me by the end of the week. To be honest I feel like a small boy again waiting for Santa to come to say I'm excited is an understatement.

Hi everyone
Sorry to the long delay in replying. But other more important things have been happening. I am now married, honeymoon etc. Anyway back to figures, I received my figures on 31 May 2015 I must say I'm very pleased with them.

Excellent looking mini's and congratulations on the wedding!

I have so many unpainted 10mm and find that I get sidetracked so easily as well…I might have to look in to a painting service myself. I'll have to find one that will estimate as I have no idea of what something like this would cost but I bet that it can get pricey.

First thank you for the congratulations Gary much appreciated.

I suspect 99% of wargamers will have huge piles of unpainted lead. Obviously having to employ a professional painter is going to cost but, we all lead extremely busy lives and seem to have less time for hobbies so I personally feel it may be the way forward to create your core army. And then you can add units at your leisure.

Some ACW Union Generals which I have highlighted which were painted by Turbil Miniatures

I just took April and May and complete the 1500 10mm ACW I had in my pile. But I'm retired and love to paint while watching baseball. No infantry left in the house, just some commanders and guns/gunners left to do.
