That is very nice! Love the look of those Rebel gunners |

Dixon do great facial features and some great sharp casting work. I could wish they were better proportioned. Huge heads on tiny bodies and even shorter limbs. Does not show up so much on mounted figures…they are outstanding. |

Thanks very much torokchar! There are some really crisp little details on these figures. |

Cheers Frederick. Yes the crew do have a lot of character. |

Deadhead, yeah it's amazing how many head variants they produce. Yes the cavalry figures are brilliant. Working on a unit at the moment so I'll be posting them up fairly soon. |

Your style of painting is so close to that of my friend bracken, it's almost flippin' scary. TIG |

TIG, oh really? I tend to add small amounts of black into most of my base coats (greys, browns, greens, blues). Been doing this for many years now. I have seen some of your friend's work actually. He has a nice style that really suits the Dixon range. |
bracken | 27 Feb 2020 3:54 a.m. PST |
Very nicely done, and TIG is right your style is very similar to mine. Dixon I believe are certainly underrated figures but each to their own. I myself well I dont think they can be beat! |

Thanks very much Bracken! Yeah I totally agree with you. I've been painting miniatures for 36 years now, mainly citadel miniatures but I would say Dixon civil war are among my favourites now. Just wish I'd started painting them years ago. I've looked at your work a lot over recent times for reference etc. Shame there aren't more painted examples out there of Dixon Civil War figs but yours are an inspiration. Following your blog now as well. |
