"Hardtack & Coffee 1863" (1 Viewer)

[PolarBear]

Four members of a Union volunteer infantry regiment from New England rest near a farmer's field in Pennsylvania and take time out to catch up on news from home and partake of the soldier's usual fare of coffee and hardtack.
Note: These are the first figures I bought from Treefrog in 2004 and the first time I talked with Shannon on the phone.

Your work is improving Randy! Adding stuff to the background brings it all together.

Actually all that is in the background is a photo of the area around the Gettysburg battlefield starting with the shrubs and tree.

Another nice vignette Randy, I was looking at these camp figures the other day and wondered if the figure laying down reading could be repainted as a 24th foot or other regiment for a Zulu camp scene ???

I'm sure the figure laying downcan be redone and added to a camp scene with a paint brush but would prefer it along with a scene be held off until figures and hand to hand sets along with scenic sets are done reflecting the events that took place at Rorke's Drift. Great photos gentlemen and thanks Randy for asking for my input....... The Lt.

I based my diorama on that photo which is in the National Archives

p.s. I have passed your question about the reading figure and the Zulu War on to the Lt.

I do need to invest in more accessories but somehow the figures take up most of the budget. So I get a lot of mileage out of the small number I have
