28mm ACW Civilians

Just finished these 28mm Redoubt ACW Civilians tonight. Very nice figures and certainly useful for any number of ACW scenarios.

28mm SCALE ACW 8" COLUMBIAD HEAVY ARTILLERY



Just painted this glorious model of an ACW 8" Columbiad gun on a barbette mounting. I will use this as a center piece for some ACW games based on capturing the gun. The model is 28mm scale and from TA Miniatures - http://www.taminiatures.co.uk/ta_webstore.html - who do a truly excellent line of heavy ACW artillery as well as a very nice little ACW mountain gun. This mountain gun is the sort of gun that featured in the movie Major Dundee and was used on the field at times. I saw one in the museum at the Prairie Grove Arkansas battlefield back in 2005.

Someone to fight the 54mm Romans

Here is a 54mm figure I finished painting this weekend. It is a German/Celt warrior to match up in war games against my 54mm Romans. I got the figure half painted from eBay a long while back and it has been sitting on my workbench for ages. I decided that it was time I brought the fellow to life. I am pleased with how this one has worked out and must get on to painting the others which I have.

MORE FOR THE BIG FIGURE SKIRMISH GAME

Here is another 54mm figure for the AWI/FWI skirmish game I am planning. This like the others I posted recently is a William Britains figure. I will post more photos of other Britians Indians from this era I have soon.

BIG FIGURE SKIRMISH GAME

Here are some 54mm American War of Independence figures that I have been collecting. I intend to use these for some skirmish games using the Song of Drums and Shakos skirmish rule set. I have some Indians as well and will use these as necessary. Just got to now get me some Red Coats!
