Rebels attacking!

Hi everyone.

Long time no see, to be exact, but many things have occured during these past few weeks. I haven't stayed idle though, but, and below you will see the results.

A couple of days ago, I started reading Bernard Cornwell's novel ''Rebel'' that describes the war between the North and the South in the States (the Blues and the Greys as I like to say) during the 1860's - the well known American Civil War. 

Inspired by it, I bought some figures from Imex - (Confederate Infantry and Union Infantry), and some from Italeri (Confederate Infantry)  and started painting them. If you care to read about the quality of them, please go to the PSR site, where their details and aspects are being thoroughly explained. They do look the part, if I may say. :-)

The Greys, since they had a bit of problem in terms of resources, during the war, due to the blockade dictated by the Union forces, had to wear whatever was available at the time, but they tried to keep their tunics grey, so as not to get mixed with their opponents whilst fighting. That was my intention while painting them. I tried to make them as in-consistent as possible.

I hope you like them.

Have a nice Monday evening everyone!

Rebel Yell!!!

Greetings everyone.

Hope you are all well.

One historical period that always fascinated me, is the American Civil War. A bitter stuggle between two sides (Union & Confederate) under the American sun, that inflicted grief and suffering on a large scale - in terms of casualties rate compared to the populations involved.

Below, you will find a pair of figures coming from Italeri's wonderful set #6014 (Confederate Infantry). They were a joy to paint, and I hope that I will use them in one of my future skirmish games.

I hope you like them.

More will follow in due course... ;-)

Have a good Tuesday night everyone.
