ACW - Fun in the Sun With Artillery (1 Viewer)

[mestell]

It's a beautiful fall-like day here in Wisconsin. Nice and sunny but only 59 F . . . great blue jean and sweat shirt weather. I decided to take another small diorama base ouside this morning and play around a little bit with my Confederate artillery. Here are some of the photos I took. All the figures are WB except for the mounted artilley officer which was made by Conte . . . . .
