Very well done.......My knowledge of ACW is limited to Hollywood and Ronald Reagen and Errol Flynn.....It is unusual seeing the Rebs in a defensive position instead of charging......who won that particular battle ?,,,,saw a movie with the Irish Bde fighting with the Mexicans against the Yanks...were there two different Irish Bde's or has Hollywood stuffed it up again ?.......TomB
Thank you....that make's scene ....the Irish are very proud people....thanks again...TomB
Excellent observation, for December these trees should be bare (a really late Fall??). I need to eventually replace them with bare trees or conifers (the present trees is what I had available....but no excuses...they need to be replaced). {sm2} Charles

The majority of the Johnny Rebs are by William Britain, and there are a few Conte and Forward March figures mixed in. As for the Union side, the metal figures are by William Britain and Soldier Gallery, while 32 of the remaining are painted (by me) plastic figures by TSSD (Toy Soldiers of San Diego). The paints used on the plastic Union figures are: Fine Surface Primer by Tamiya, followed by color paints by Vallejo (Oxford Blue (hats), Blue Grey (Coats & trousers), Black (pouches and supporting belts), White (canteen belt/strap), brass (buttons, belt buckle and insignia plate), steel, and burnt umber or burnt sienna (rifles), and Citadel's "Dark Reaper" blue for canteen (a dark sky blue can also be used). Ground area was first painted in Burnt Umber then dry brushed in grassy areas in light green / light yellow mix. PS. TSSD plastic figures prior to painting may require at times straightening of rifles and bayonets (use a hair dryer, then holding rifle or bayonet straight immerse in cold water). The scarfs on the Union TSSD figures can be painted in any color of the day (they were normally scarfs from home vs military issue).
