ACW Ambulance Update

Have spent some more time on the ambulance. Still more to do on the cart and base as well as the surgeon, orderlies and wounded.

ACW Ambulance

A friend of mine bought me the Ambulance cart for my birthday. It is a lovely vignette and can double up as a command stand, especially for those drunkard generals that need to retire to their ambulance to consume some whiskey, purely for medicinal reasons. I have based the model on 2mm plasticard. The base size is 100mm x 80mm.

Confederate Regiment Finished

Well the flags finally came down from GMB designs and I am quite pleased with the finished results. The cavalry regiment are slow going at the moment whilst I finish a couple of commissions for other people.

Ist Confederate Regt finished...well nearly

Last night I completed my first regiment of Perry ACw confederates. I have one standard bearer model to finish and add the flags but generally I am very pleased with the results. When I get an opportunity to photograph them in a decent light I will post some pictures.

My next ACW regiment will be a box of the Perry Cavalry. Not overly keen on painting horses, but it shouldn't take too long, especially if I use the Army Painter method. I have to say that their method for bulk painting is pretty good. You get a good wargames table standard. I have seen some models painted by other bloggers using other techniques, such as the foundry 3 stage paint method and they are very good.
