The American Civil War diaries; in 20mm..... (2 Viewers)

[Warrior]

Ok Uk Reb, my patient friend from across the pond, you have waited long enough, so here you are, the start of The American Civil War diaries; in 20mm.

It's only fair we keep this seperate from your outstanding ACW diaries in 54mm, nothing wrong with two ACW diaries. Thanks UK Reb for sparking my interest in the ACW again, my all time favorite period to collect; and away we go...............

Confederate forces attack Union positions defended by various outfits.........

The Union forces are made up of a mix of Berdan Sharpshooters, elements of the 14th Brooklyn and various Zouave units as well........

 

[Warrior]

I plan on adding many more pictures to this thread, I've got plans for some larger diodramas for Antietam, Gettysburg, The Battle of Atlanta, The Wilderness, etc, so stay tuned all of you ACW fans, more to come very soon...........

Thanks Mark, I plan on adding to this thread hopefully two or three times a month, I've got loads of ideas kicking around, all I needed was to get my rear in gear and start with this one, it's a piece of cake from here......

 

[UKReb]

Well better late than never

Great stuff George and you have no idea what a treat it is to view another members blue and gray collection

Many thanks for posting and keep-em coming whether it's "On to Washington" or "On to Richmond" either route will suit me just fine.

My pleasure Reb; hard to believe I've got over 2,000 ACW figures and I painted them all myself. I guess at one point in my life I had WAY too much free time on my hands.

I will do my best to keep adding to this thread with more "diodrama" specific items.........

[Warrior]

Thanks John, having fun with the hobby is what it's all about and I have more than my share I'm happy to report........

[Captain]

Looks like a whole lotta fun George! I,m enjoying the pics of the wee ones. The other day I decided to set my old trains up. Havent had them out in years. Well, one thing led to another and....

 

[Warrior]

Thanks Cap, nice train set you've got there. I will be adding more ACW pictures soon, my favorite period to collect.......

 

[UKReb]

Capn

The way you have laid out your dio looks to me just like a scene from Keaton's civil war silent movie "The General"

You ever seen it?

Reb

 

[Captain]

Nope. Aint seen it.

 

[Warrior]

Whenever I think ACW and trains, I think of The Horse Soldiers, when the Confederates came piling out of the boxcars and attacked Newton Station............

 

[marco55]

Horse Soldiers is a classic.
