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.
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!

Beautifully painted Rebels, Christopher. The various colors and shades of Confederate "uniforms" really makes for a nice foil opposite Union troops in blue.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Dean they do give one a chance to change up colors!
