link Review of Alien vs. Alien by Gini Koch. It's a sci-fi satire/parody/"chick-lit" piece. Fun read. It's not something I would have normally picked up. I read it to see what's popular in the speculative fiction market. A light, silly work. Recommended after all the "serious" sci-fi/fantasy books I've read… Blake |

Here is my latest addition to my ACW collection, just a small command stand
Once again some cracking little figures from Dixon minis, well IMHO. So I now have command stands for Lee, Jackson and now Longstreet so I reckon its gotta be JEB Stuart next! So as always thanks for looking, feel free to checkout my blog accidentalpainter.blogspot.co.uk |

Dixon minis are always chock full of character. Nice painting and great base.

At this point, I think it's everyone against the bug. |

It's a beautiful command stand. |

Beautifully executed as ever! |

Thanks for all the comments guys, even if the Bug did make an appearance! Marianas gamer, thanks for the kind words. I'm a massive fan of Dixon minis! dragon6, I think command stands deserve that little bit more attention, hopefully I managed it! Thanks GoodOldRebel, I couldn't do anything less than my best for Longstreet. So thanks for the comments guys, they are very much appreciated
Cheers for now Russ |

Longstreet is my favourite Corps commander in the Eastern theatre I have to say! Superb work, always worthwhile going that extra mile on command stands! |

Thanks TIG, your input and opinions are always valued! Shagnasty, they do look pretty good now they are based. GoodOldRebel, I know we have spoke before about Southern commanders having more character and charisma then most of the Northern commanders and I still stand by it! I think there is something about the southern gent. The cavalier image is certainly a strong one! Brimmed hats, feathers and the Austrian knots in gold braid, certainly a romantic image which isn't to dispell. Fighting for a way of life which they believed was a choice they should be allowed to decide on without Northern influence. Seriously guys thanks for all the replies, its a real buzz to read the replies!
Thanks again cheers Russ |

Thanks TIG hopefully it shouldn't be to long before he makes an appearance! Then its hopefully back to the vivs |

Lovely work and I love doing individuals for command nases and ACW has so many great characters |
| bracken | 12 Feb 2016 11:07 a.m. PST |
Thanks fanai59, I'm thinking about the basing for my next command base 'jeb Stuart" I've got some ideas now its just finding the time! |
| GoodOldRebel | 13 Feb 2016 4:14 a.m. PST |
Maybe Stuart and William Blackford escaping from the Federals at Hanover? Leaping their mounts over a ditch….awesome image |
| bracken | 13 Feb 2016 9:19 a.m. PST |
Thanks GoodOldRebel I'm not sure my skills are up to such a dramatic scene, but I think its gonna have to be abit different from the other command base's, I don't want them looking to much the same. |
