The command stand for Lewis Armistead's brigade. I'm not overly happy with the flag, I'm thinking about snapping it off and starting over.

Your M4 and Dragon are painted really well - you can always tell a guy who is good at details when you look at the tires, and more importantly, the rims. If you can get those painted right, you are expertly skilled!

Did you do an overall wash or try a pinwash?

Thanks for all the shared work, it’s great to see!

Thanks Burt. I do an overall wash, and then a light dry brushing with a slightly lighted shade of the original color. In the case of the M4 and the dragon wagon I added on drop of desert yellow to the original color.

Thanks Polish, thanks Burt. I have more infantry and more ACW stuff on the bench right now and the Fanshaw Bay is going a lot better than I planned on so there is another Micronaut coming sometime in the future too. Juggling those with a lot of other projects I'm working on.

I know this little guy doesn't really fit this forum, but I figured I'd share some more of what I do.

Thanks Polish! That’s exactly where my mind went when I started my Barons War range. I just started a foot sergeant named Randy. I know it’s going to get picked up as a new reality show, Trailer Park Knights, lol.
