More Rebs for ACW

 

Continuing on with my ACW project in the form of some Rebel units. I'm actually starting to see some daylight on this project. Still have a way to go, but really feeling like I have made progress.

I hope everyone isn't getting tired of seeing ACW, but I'm trying to stay focused until I get this project to what I consider a playable stage. I have too many projects at the 75% stage, but not quite there and I don't want this too be another. I don't mean finished or everything I want just to a point where I can play  a couple different scenario's. I'm worried if I do something else it could be a long time before I come back so I want to avoid that. It's hard as so many things are tempting me!!

The figures are a mix of mostly Perry metal and plastics and a couple Sash and Saber Old Glory. Once again I prefer metal quite a bit more, but these plastics were pretty good once you got past the dreaded assembly part. 

I'm not sure how others paint their Rebs, but I really like to play up the ragged multi uniformed, whatever I can get my hands on type of look. I know many units managed to keep somewhat of a semblence of uniformity, but I always prefer the more chaotic look. To achieve this the paints I used were the usual Foundry and Vallejo paints.

Hopefully I'll have some more units to show soonish. I think I have enough infantry for now so I'll switch and add some more artillery next.

Thanks for viewing!

I've been gone for a bit, but that's how social media works for me it seems. I have been painting so do have a back log of things to show. Here are a few more union units to show.

I'm actually starting to get somewhere with this project.  I've got about 12 union infantry units and almost ready to add some more reb infantry that will give me around the same number. So with a few more artillery to add to the few I have and some cavalry I'll be ready to start playing scenario's which will be nice!

The figures are all Perry/Foundry and are a mix of some metal and mostly plastic. As a rule I prefer metal, but these plastics painted up pretty decent plus they do help fill out the ranks cheaper. My collection will stay mostly metal, but I will supplement some plastics like these.

The colors I used were mostly Foundry which are my favorite paints plus Vallejo which are also quite nice.

Next up will probably be the rebel infantry I'm working on and then see what happens. Oh I was thinking about cleaning my blog up as it has some projects I no longer do or pictures that are really out of date. This is a pretty old blog so there has been changes along the way.
