Thank you Vick, LT, UKReb, Martyn, Titus and Scott. This is a picture of my favorite grouping of Union figures. I am using a stonewall and the WB Smokehouse as part of the backdrop scene.
Mike
First off, FANTASTIC photo!
Secondly, I can totally see the terror in these Billy Yank's eyes as they see the gleam of bayonets coming from the rifles of our brave boys in grey!Vick

Thank you Vick and John.
A small child looks up at the weathered farmer and utters, "Is that thunder PaPa?" His concerned father looks down and says, "No son. Its the sound of the big guns."
There will be thunder in the valley now! Just got these two sets today. The Confederate set was a hard one to find. I have staged these in a hurry just to take a couple quick pics. I will be having lots of fun with these.

Both are really nice sets Mike! You will have fun with them. I had both of these sets at one time.

Mike, glad to see you've brought in the big guns!
Unfortunately, our brave boys in grey about to meet their maker!

Thank you:
Titus - Yes I know you once had both gun sets. I should have bought them from you when I had a chance.
Vick - The boys in gray will give as good as they get.

Thanks again Vick and thank you too Scott.
Continuing with my fun - hey its raining here this evening - perfect for play time. These pictures should please the Southern sympathizers out there .
Here I have elements of the 5th Virginia Infantry of the Stonewall Brigade pouring out of a field onto the Valley Turnpike Road. Part of the split rail fence has been dismantled to allow easy passage for the troops.

Another winner! Any interest in giving us just a small diodrama on the battle when the project is done? Mike, don't you worry about your troops with CJ on the table!??!
Also, Cosmo, aka "Cozzy Ozzy", would like to say 'Hello' to CJ!

I have given a diodrama some thought but as you said Vick, if I do it would be a small one. I have been mentally preparing somewhat of a story line. As far as CJ is concerned, she is one very nimble cat. She can walk right through a group of figures and never move a one. She seems to enjoy my company and I do enjoy hers. She's really no bother - except for when I am trying to take a picture obviously
. By the way CJ returns the hello to Cosmo.Mike

Titus - I am having more fun than humans should be allowed to have
Martyn - Cheers
LT - The Yankees haven't seen the last of the gray backs either
Mark - That's my favorite Shenandoah backdrop picture - I wish it was longer
