Ragnar,

Ragnar had it been titled as follows "Civil War Painted Plastics by King and Country" they would have been a run on it.

Enjoyed my first cup of coffee reviewing the photo Tim and once again it was a pleasure seeing the photos featuring your play time and did notice the Frontline wagon making another appearance. What I'd like to see next is a set up with your WWII figures in action title "WWII Painted Plastics by King and Country" and bet the views on it would hit the roof.. All kidding aside it would be nice to see what you come up with featuring your WWII painted figures.............The Lt.

Your figures whether they are plastic; metal; wood; resin; cloth or paper- if they are the blue or the gray will always get my avid attention

But I have to ask how come the original Marshall Ney of Massachusetts has put his ample skills and finesse into Marse Robert's troops? Me I'm all for it just curious that's all as I had no idea you had some members of the ANV amongst your stash.

I was going to ask you where you got that splendid looking wagon from but Joe has answered that-Thanks Joe.

Seriously Tim great looking figures and magnificently painted plus your usual well displayed diorama skill up front and center.

Thanks guys! I,ve always liked civil war figures, the marx civil war set was my favorite growing up as a kid. The alamo was my other favorite but I didn,t realy have many mexicans other then few that my father left me from when he was a kid. It looked kinda funny to me even as a kid to have ton of figures I could use to man my alamo but nothing to attack it, So the civil war set saw most of my play time.
I have a bunch of plastic civil war figures that I plan on chopping up and painting over time and doing a few dioramas with in the future when I get enough to do something with. I can,t afford to start another era in metal so plastic will have to do. Hopefully my conversion skills will keep it from looking to cheesy???
Your great dioramas feed a fire in me that was already there for me to try and do something in that era, but I,ll need to get chopping on figures to get some good poses of figures to try and bring a bit more life to the dioramas and even get anywheres close to your great dioramas.
Reb you,ve set the bench mark on civil war dios!!!!

Yes joe I,m glad I picked up that wagon, it,s become a favorite piece of mine lately.
As far as WWII goes thats just not gonna happen for awhile, I,ve got to many projects half done to start another. I shouldn,t have started this civil war thing but I really needed a break from painting prussians which I,ve seemed to just totaly lost interest in painting.

Could not agree more UKReb i like them all no matter what they are made out off.....but i don't think i would like to se them made out of pasta .
Anyway Confederates are fun to paint...A little like painting Vikings you can realy mix them up .

Don't remember Scott, possibly but it's been a while since I put them together.
