Actually found a Kamikaze class destroyer in my model box from a pack that was open, so I’m going to paint that, then move on to the Fanshaw Bay to continue with Taffy 3.

Re: Bills stuff
SECTION ONE, FIRE!!!!!
I tried to get a good picture of each crewman,
I think it turned out ok. Thought I had limbers in my stash of unopened stuff, that's why I thought about doing some artillery because I like to do both at once, but I didn't. Of course I figured that out right when GHQ released the new web specials...so I placed and order; damn you GHQ!!! (fist shake!)
Thanks for looking, Billy

Re: Bills stuff
Thanks guys. Once I get my next package from GHQ, I paint the limber for it.

Re: Bills stuff
Your artillery looks really good as well. I understand that you mix GHQ and Good Ground minis together for more variety and your stands look great. What did you use for your flags. They appear to be paper but not so stiff as if they are flying in a stiff wind.

Re: Bills stuff
Thanks Pete. The flags are from Good Ground, and they are paper. Once the glue is dry after folding them over the flag pole, I gently work them back and forth between my thumb and a toothpick at different angles to make them wavy. If you do that too aggressively they’ll crinkle a little. Then I put a little gold paint around the edge to simulate the bunting and get rid of the white paper edge, it also seals it some.

Re: Bills stuff
Thanks very much, Bill! I may have to give Good Ground and your flag method a try. I appreciate it.

Re: Bills stuff
I also paint flags when I use GHQ command figures to be fair, the only problem is the stars just end up being dots and there is no way to paint regimental flags, the detail is just way too small.

Finished the M4 for the Dragon Wagon.
Next I'm going to do some infantry for the support stands for the rear detachment.
Thanks for looking! Billy.

Re: Bills stuff
Looking at your Yankee artillery makes me want to get into War Between the States wargaming. I just don't think my marriage would survive it. Nice work!

Great work on the Kamikaze and the M4A3 on the back of the tank transporter, Bill!
