For sale

With me concentrating on my 15mm armies, I've reluctantly decided to part with my 28mm units and listed them on E-Bay. I'll be able to use any funds they generate to purchase the necessary figures to finish Union I Corps. So some final pictures of said figures.

The first unit. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/28mm-Perry-ACW-Confederates-/230680421593?pt=UK_Toys_Wargames_RL&hash=item35b59fe4d9

2nd unit finished

Just adding a photos of the completed 2nd unit of my 28mm ACW. I've also painted up the 8 figures to act as skirmishers and will post some pics when I finish basing them.

Work in progress

First up 2 pictures of my 2 unit of 28mm Confederates. Again the figures are all Perry plastics. The flag is from the boxed set until I can get around to doing some better ones. Just 8 more figures required to finish the unit.



Next up a small section of stone wall with a gate. The gate is left over from the hovels fencing that I did earlier. This section will give me about 3-4ft of stone walling for future games. Also good news on the gaming from as one of the lads has just purchased some Peter Pig figures to put together another union corps. This should give the Union a numerical advantage.

Fencing

First up some fencing from Hovels. I picked these up on Ebay about a year ago and have only just gotten around to painting them. I followed the same process as I used for the worm fences. Balck undercoated and successive drybrushing of dark brown up to cream. They are based on lolly pop sticks to give them a bit of stability.


Finally finished the bases and added a flag from the Perry box set to my first 28mm unit.

28mm Confederates

Finally finished painting my first unit of the Perry Plastic ACW figures. First up is a 20 figure strong unit. I've multi-based them all as I intend to use them with either Black Powder or Fire and Fury. I've quite enjoyed putting the unit together. I've got enough figures to do 2 more 20 figure unit and a small unit of 8 figures to act as skirmishers or pickets.



They still need the bases finished and a flag added. Just need a new colour cartridge for my printer to print it out.

update

Finally got my temperamental camera to work and get a couple of photos. A single photo of Brooke's and Zook's brigades from Caldwell's Division. Bringing the strength of my union forces up to 18.


Next up I painted up some test figures for a 28mm confederate brigade. I followed the same colour schemes as I had done for the 15mm but with an extra layer of highlights. They've come out quite dark (even more so in the picture) but that is the way I like them.
