Beautifully painted. I especially like the way you did the horses.

Dixon should be giving you a kickback of some kind.

I really love Dixon's Horses, their's and the Perry Plastics are about the best going.

Nice stuff braken. Is that supposed to be an early J.E.B. in the front row far left? I can see the Yankees running from the Black Horse Cavalry. TIG

Thanks guys all comments are very much appreciated

Thanks Hammerhead, I'm a bit OCD about my collection I like them all to look the shame! So I don't like mixing figures. I also wait and base the entire regiment at once so the bases all match.

Thanks Big Red, I go through spates of enjoying painting horses, so I try and make the most of it. I also love using citadel paints for horses they seem to have that smooth finish that suit horses.

79thPA, that would be nice! I'm open to free stuff same as everyone else.

jowady I'm with you on the horses! Dixon horses are spot on and so are Perry's. It's a shame some companies just don't do horses any justice!

Thanks TIG, the head on the figure I converted into the officer is the same head as the JEB figure, so your spot on!

Thanks for the feedback guys, it's always good to hear!
So thanks for looking
cheers for now Russ

Classic regiment given a very special paint/conversion job! You do those miniatures great honour sir!

Thanks GoodOldRebel, I have a slight southern bias so it was only fair to do my best by them! I'm guessing from the feedback I'm done the boys proud.
