I added these a while ago, so after finishing the Union Artillery I've started to look at previous projects. I figured it was worth a share.

Nice work. You have obviously been to an ACW reenactment.

Very nice indeed.

The disproportionate Dixon heads are always a distraction but there is a real ‘feel' of the period here.

Best wishes,

Chris

Thanks everyone for the comments and kind words its really nice to hear.
DiasterWargamer thank you its much appreciated.

Choctaw thank you I did enjoy building it, although if Im honest I did plan more.

Greylegion thank you it's good hear i got it right.

Flyxwire it was a labour of love if I'm honest.

Tig thank you my friend, I'm not sure I'm quite finished with the ACW just yet.

Murphy thank you its very much appreciated.

Shagnasty I did many many years ago, it was about 30 years ago and it wasnt quite as in depth as it is now.

Chris, Dixon are love em or hate em! I've always enjoyed painting them I love the character of them. As for the kind words thank you, I didn't want to over populate the scene so hopefully I've struck a realistic balance

Thanks again for all the comments
All the best Cheers Russ

Shagnasty: In all my years of reenacting, I have never seen a reenacting camp that neat or well organized. If it was a reenacting camp there would be a guy hiding behind the tent eating pizza. But a long time ago I was verbally attacked while walking back to my camp with a piece of pizza in my hand. The camp was already closed to the public for over two hours. So this was strictly reenactor time.
