Very cool ACW custom! (1 Viewer)

Hello all! I found this photo posted on a W. Britain Collectors Group on Facebook. It's a custom done by Ken Osen of General William Barksdale on the second day of the battle of Gettysburg. The custom was done from what appears to be the original figure of General Garnett from the "Hell for Glory" set. I think the figure looks great! It captures Barksdale perfectly on the second day urging his brigade forward into the peach orchard with his long flowing white hair. This charge was remarked by one Union soldier as "the grandest charge ever made by man." It would be nice to see a figure like this done of Barksdale for everyone to purchase!

Thanks for sharing. Ken has been messing around a lot with custom figures. It is cool to see what he can do. This past "Collector" he did an article on a figure he customized. It was cool to see the process.
