American Civil War Confederate Infantry 1861-65
28mm Plastic Figures Designed by Alan Perry
The figures in this box will represent a Confederate infantry regiment form 1862 onwards, although there are a fair amount of units that can be depicted from 1861, too. They are all represented in short jackets, typical of the entire Confederate Army from mid-1863. Both caps and broad-brimmed hats are included for all figures, as some regiments adopted the hat and others the cap, although most had a mix. All figures have separate arms to allow you build the regiment at 'right shoulder shift' or at the charge. There will be 44 figures in the box, eight flags, unit bases, and painting guide. At the moment, I'm just working on the painting guide - as you can see, there's a couple of figures and a few flags in the picture.
We also have the first of the 40mm Peninsular War resin figures and artillery pieces in.
Why resin? After receiving the most amazing 40mm guns from Norman Swales, I decided that we just had to produce them in resin to make sure there was no shinkage on such large (for us) pieces… and then I thought, why not the crew, too? So here we are. The rest of the 40mm Peninsular War range from now on (not the existing range, which will still be metal) will also be in resin. Although the price will have to go up, just for the resins, we hope you'll find it's worth it for the quality. Although it looks and feels like hard plastic (and many people would say it is), this is actually resin. It's the perfect medium for this scale of figure, although the manufacturing process is more costly.
