The final Union Cavalry regiment.

Well I have completed the third Union cavalry regiment , which completes my brigade. I just need to buy and paint a few more dismounted figures.These are a combination of Perry plastics and Perry metal figures.I have one more rebel cavalry regiment to crack off, and then its just a few filler pieces to complete my ACW project. 


An image of the brigade, looks okay to me, but I dont expect them to be very effective against steady infantry.

I couldn't resist buying the old Hinchliffe signal tower. Once I had understood how it went together it was a pleasure to paint.Peter Gilder was a very clever bloke.

    Hello Robbie,

    Like everything else in your ACW project these look very nice indeed, the cavalry brigade does look very imposing, although those Rebs behind picket fences with their muskets levelled at them might not be so intimidated haha

      Cheers Paul, still considering a new project, hopefully I will have a flash of inspiration in the coming weeks.

      Thanks Iain,
      I am getting into swing with the plastic landsknects. It is a static pose but they are nice figures.
