Hi Bill! That is really great work on the Union Infantry. The detail is amazing and you have captured the right look with the colors that you selected. Are those all GHQ or are there some other 10mm manufacturers mixed in?

They are a mix of GHQ, Good Ground, and Cracker Line, I like to get as wide a variety of poses as possible to add a little realism and disorder to the scene. I only use Vallejo MC and PA on all of my minis, the federal infantry is dark sea blue for the jackets and field blue for the trousers.

Next, I'm trying to decide between some Federal artillery or a Confederate brigade, leaning towards artillery. Thanks for looking!

You can almost smell the gunpowder!

I second Redleg. Artillery!

Thanks guys. That’s two for artillery, so ok, a battery has it. After that I’ll paint Lewis Armisted’s brigade.

I’m going to have another Micronaut finished tomorrow, so I need to figure what I’m going to build next also.

Cool as she is, roughly 70 years too modern for my taste, unless there's a reason I should :lol:

Its only half finished, I still have to paint the M4 for the trailer, but there is a lot of flash on it to clean up, so I figured I'd post this for now.

Thanks Bege.

Finished the Johnston today too.

The flash makes the dry brushing look lighter than it actually is, it's not that bright with the Mk 1 eyeball. I'm not the best photographer, point and shoot. Still trying to figure out my next ship, I think I have a couple Japanese destroyers in the model box from packs that were open a while back, if not I'm leaning towards HMS Rodney. Regardless, here's another Taffy 3 ship finished.

Excellent looking tank transporter and destroyer, Bill. The destroyer looks a lot like one of the Fletcher class destroyers I painted a few years ago. It was also in Measure 21. Yours looks great!
