Hi,
Somewhat related with my post on miniatures bases, I share with a few shots of my only ACW painted miniatures so far. Those are from the unused pile of plastic bought for the FPW - a box of AIP zouaves and an Imex confederate gun who included some infantrymen.
As you have already guessed, at this moment this is another ill-fated project.
An unfinished command base for the zouaves, the flag is hand painted using a back and white printing as a template.
Cheers
Alberto

Alberto,
Those are lovely bases-the Confederate one in particular is fantastic!
Best wishes
Anthony

Hi Anthony,
Thanks a lot for your kind comment, if I wouldn't already have a bunch of ACW miniatures in others scales
I will probably plunge in 54mm, the uniforms are easier to paint than Napoleonics and you needs less miniatures.
I confess that I'm still tempted. With the Chintoys, CTA sets who are easier to receive here in Spain, Expeditionary
Forces and some 2d hand finds, I could probably muster two decent forces.

Agreed...digging the broken fence.

Hi Cloud Captain,
The base's dimensions allowed to do some kind of mini diorama, I really enjoyed to set up this little scene,
I think that gives an extra "something" to the Imex gigures who are quite energetic but it got a lot of missing
or wrong details. Thanks for your comment.
Hello Big Bill,
It was really fun to convert the AIP zouave in a flag bearer, I guess that's one of the small pleasure of working
with bigger scales. I like very much the work done by Mr Mike Blake.
Cheers for your kind words

Fantastic figures! Is that house in the background home-made?
