I see Lee riding beside the column of Rebs! I really can't wait for these. I especially like the Longstreet pose.

As these are sneak previews, I don't know that we'll be seeing them for Christmas. Next year I would expect.

First time for me since reviewing the proto types to to see the final painted versions of Lee and Longstreet. They look very nice indeed.

I really like the poses of these figures tough they may be difficult to incorporate into the same scene. The horses also go very well with the poses of the generals. I can feel the intensity as Longstreet gives a crisp salute to either Lee or perhaps one of his subordinates.

Lee looks to be spot on from that photo. I wish we had a better view of both of their faces though.

Speaking of spots, looks like ol' Traveler could do with a few less. Lee's trusted mount was no where near as dappled as this horse has been painted.
Hopefully FL will make some corrections before the eventual release.

I agree about the spots.

Oh I don't know, maybe from the artwork of Don Troiani. -But how can his lifetime of knowledge at bringing the ACW to life through his painting compare to your first hand experience.

Exactly they don't :wink2:

Troiani version

First Legions Version

I'd say if your using Troiani as your reference its I very good one, and I'd also say his resembles First Legion a good deal as well. You can never please everyone but I'm not gonna split Dapples on a Horses ***. regards Gebhard
