So I've already begun to plan out my costume for next Halloween and have decided to go the Beau Geste route. Does anyone know where to get a reproduction blue coat or a fairly similar substitute?

Thanks!

Beside the garrison at Fort Sumter, were there other groups of soldiers that found themselves cut off in secessionist states at the start of the American Civil War? I've never heard this mentioned, but it seems as if there should have been a few other fortifications throughout the south.

Top shelf stuff!

Great painting Rupert!

It is a nice set, very well molded. As an added bonus they have the longer tunics which can be painted as Berdan's Sharpshooters or marines. My only gripe is that they have two similar figures, one at port arms and one at shoulder arms, but no figure kneeling and firing.

Good question. AWI uniforms aren't bulky enough for the period. The LOD officer with the raised sword may work, but not so much for the others. Definitely lacking figures in this area.

Thanks!

Can anyone confirm whether or not the second set (HAT9101A) has swappable heads?

Wasn't sure where to ask about unpainted metal figures, but this looked like the best place. Does anyone know of a company that produces 54mm ACW marines? The only figures I have come across are AIP (don't care for the poses) and Replicants (rare as hen's teeth).

Thanks!

Does anyone have a photo (or link to one) of the poses included with the series 2 set?

Anyone know if they have any sets planned for the near future? Would love to see American Revolution staff figures.

What do you use as a primer?

Nice! These are the best-looking painted AIPs I've seen!
