"Old Glory 28mm Federales?" Topic

What do the Old Glory 28mm Federales look like painted? I seem to have an incredibly hard time finding pics online, and Old Glory has practically no pics for this range on their site.

Google Old Glory 25s' Historicals. That should take you to a site that will allow you to look through unpainted pictures their Historical figures… I think you want to look at the line that has Pershing's name in it. I have quite a few of these figures as yet unpainted but I have used a good many other Old Glory 25s over the years and I like them. Probably the greatest number of the Old Glory 25s that I have currently painted are from their Pirate line. They are very compatible with the Foundry Pirates. You can see my Pirate collection at warin15mm.com/Pirates.html

Not mine but I have painted these in the past and liked them very much. I pulled this pic after googling old glory painted Mexican federales. There were many pics under this search.

Here are some of the Federales that I bought to use as a 2nd American Civil War force (American version of a Very British Civil War).

I believe this is a selection of one of each of the poses in the PIM-16 pack.

BUT!!! the guy in the middle holding the big Lewis Gun is a conversion. I cut the rifle out of his hands & used the Lewis Gun from Company B.

Also, the head positioning of the figures is pretty weird. I actually cut the heads off on some of them & repositioned them because they looked like a dog cocking its head to listen to a weird noise.

& the kneeling guys really are leaning over like that. I tried straightening them, but wasn't able to do it very well.

Here is the machine gun pack PIM-23

& here is a Technical I made from one of Old Glory's Blue Moon trucks, & the MG pack.

Hope that helps

It does. (sigh) If they were all in jack boots, they would be perfect for my project. Alas, they seem to be historically accurate.

Thank you for your help, everybody. These pics very much answer my question.

You can better 'verticalise' the kneeling figures by filing their bases at an angle during the pre-painting clean-up – being careful of course not to file away the right foot in the process!

BTW, the dismounted cavalry are sculpted with full-length rifles that need to be converted into the Mauser 95 carbine (not too onerous a task, fortunately). This does however mean that, because federal personal equipment was somewhat informal and the cavalry figures only differ in not having haversacks, you can absorb any spare dismounted cavalry figures into your infantry units.
