General Beauregard.

I picked this chap up at Salute. It is a representation of General Beauregard, by Redoubt Miniatures. It is a lovely casting and a doddle to paint. Now using Picketts Charge Rules your C in C doesn't have a role as such, and is really just for show. So I thought in case I end up using these rules regularly I would knock up a base.

 I like to try figures from most figure manufacturers, so I bought a unit from Steve Barber. I had never painted any of his products before, and was a bit discombobulated when they came. The head, body and musket arm all need to be stuck onto the lower body and feet. So I had to pin the arms to make certain they wouldnt just fall off, and I had to jiggle the heads about. Now being cackhanded I ended up with a lot of super glue on my finger ends. I am glad they are now painted and finished, although to be honest I still like them. I wouldnt like to drop the buggers though.  

                 So another Texan unit completed, and just a couple more to do in their brigade.

I hope to get to Partizan this coming weekend, all being well, so I hope to buy the last units for this ACW project, and then take stock of where I go from there. You will be able to recognise me if your going, I'm the oldish guy with flock stuck to the ends of his fingers.
