ACW 28mm YANKEE DISMOUNTED CAVALRY

 Here are a bunch of Perry Miniatures Yankee dismounted cavalry that I have painted to accompany my Perry mounted Yankee cavalry.

SPANISH CIVIL WAR WARGAME

Here are some photos from a Spanish Civil War game we played yesterday. The game invoved an infantry assault by Nationalists on a ridge defended by dug in Republicans. The aircraft played a minor role in the game but looked so cool I thought I should share the images with you. The aircraft models are die-cast metal and 1/72 scale. They were on stands but Photoshop magic removed those.

 

LATEST PLASTIC ACW CAVALRY - REBS

Here are the latest plastic ACW cavalrymen I have done. I had a couple of figures and horses left over after I had done the US cavalry and decided to do some Rebs. I cut the sabers away as they were seldom actually worn by cavalry, especially Reb cavalry, and used a couple of the Perry separate metal cast heads you can get. These are really nice heads, full of character. I then gave each man a full length rifled musket as I have a lot of these spare on Zulu sprues. Reb cavalry would grab hold of anything they could and often used long arms if that was all that they could get. They'd cut them down if they could, but these two guys haven't had time to do that yet. I am really pleased with the finished product. The final two photos are of the other plastic Reb cavalry I have done so far. 

I just have to mention the outstanding service from Perry Miniatures. I put my order in on 11 September and had it in my hands here in Australia on 17 September. That is an amazing turnaround from the UK. Hats off to Perrys a great crowd to deal with!
