A great photo to start a great day, thanks Mike.

Thank you Randy and Scott. Randy, the photo was taken using the 100W GE Reveal light bulbs you recommended. The casulty figures are Conte ACW57118 "Iron Brigade Casulties". I just got these this past week and they work very well with my WB ACW figures. Here's another one for this rainy morning . . . . .

Very nice Mike.

Your weather forecast sounds very similar to the spell we had last week, it certainly helped convince me to get the camera out, not that I needed much convincing

Cheers

Keep that war going Mike-Huzzah!

Conte Iron Brigade???-I got them all- twice! Some of my favorite figures but because I'm stuck with Grant's Overland campaign-darned if I can use them in any of my current dios-although I did sneak a couple into the last chapter-slightly disguised

Great scenes as always. Thanks for posting.

More wonderful pictures, cheers for sharing them with us Mike.

Another nice scene Mike. I enjoy viewing your figures. The weather seems like another week of heat and probably rain. I wish wisconsin would keep their weather on the other side of the lake. John

I like the 114th man in the set. There's the Zouaves of the 114th doing the drill.

Thanks everyone; Bob, Terp, Scott, John, and Scott . . . . We'll have to do this again tomorrow

Recently I have been adding just a few Conte sets that I know Ken OSen sculpted to fill in some "gaps" in my formations. Since Ken did the sculpting the Conte figures really blend in nicely with the WB (same style, size, etc).

The only good thing I can say about this weather is that it keeps me inside and gives me good reason to play. After the rains we will have to brace ourselves for another hatch of mosquitos - they have been nasty this year here.

Thanks Scott. You shared this photo once before with me which I saved. Its always good to show it though with the WB hospital wagon and stretcher bearers. It is a really good example of the detail and historical accuracy that WB tries to put into their ACW sets. WB is going to expand on the 114th PA Zouaves going into next year.

Wisconsin...yes...that's in South America right...close to the Amazon Rain Forest I believe...

poor you...you are forced to play with your toys...jk...I know you like your yardwork and want to exercise that knee...

Mike...those are both nice sets up...mowing them down and carting them off...great pics...

 

[Scott]

Ouch I'm getting old and telling the same stories to the kids. The 114th is great to show fighting or as the AOP Provost unit with spit n' polish. Mary Tepe the Vivandiere shows up with them.

It looks great. I always look forward to your displays.
