The Union grows.

Well my Union army grows apace. However to counter this I have painted a few Perry dismounted cavalry chaps. I have realised however that I have outstripped my rebel forces by concentrating on re painting/rebasing the figures I received from Jim Sweeny and also painting more Union troops without doing the odd rebel ones. Somehow I've painted and acquired 19 regiments of Union as opposed to a mere 10 Rebel. A definite imbalance that will need to be redressed very quickly. So what I have I elected to paint next, another Union regiment, this time  the 14th Brooklyn, modeled and sold by Forgotten Glorious Miniatures. These are a beautiful range of figures and a delight to paint, I couldnt help myself when I first received them, again its a same they provide such a tiny range.But very highly recommended.

My fourth Iron Brigade unit, this time Crusader Miniatures. They are very nice figures, and their unit deals make these a good buy. Unfortunately it is a very small range to choose from.

Finally a rebased, and touched up unit I obtained from Jim. They are a combination of Hinchliffe, Connoisseur and a Dixon officer being shot. They must be nearly forty years old, but I still think they have a life and charm to them.
