Very nice unit. You did a good job catching their character. I love the detail of Dixon minis. I see you did, eyes and all. Nice brush work. I love Dixon CW minis. |

Greylegion, thanks very much! To coin a phrase, they paint themselves. Yes, wonderful detail and character. Some of the eyes on these figures are among the trickiest I've ever had to paint. |

Great work. Tell me, are you planning on gaming with these guys or are they for display only? If the former, will you use a movement tray for them? |

Nice work.
I started out with Dixon for ACW and they always looked good on the table. |

Thanks Brian! I'd like to game with them at some point down the line so yes, I'll be going for movement trays. I kind of wish I had fixed them four to a base in a way although I do like them as they are for display purposes. |

Thanks Bandolier. Yeah I've seen a few battle reports with Dixon ACW figures on various blogs and they do look so impressive. |
