When I 1st joined the challenge back in number 4 or 5 (when you could go into shops with 50p and come out with 5 bags of crisps, a bottle of pop and 20 Benson and Hedges - they've installed CCTV now so that has stopped) the 1st unit I ever submitted was a 28mm Union ACW infantry regiment. That project ended with a division of Union and another of Confederates. I love painting and playing ACW so like Lazarus it keeps getting back up. One of my wargaming buddies (Matt, not of this parish) and I play massive ACW battles on a 14ft by 6ft table.They last all day and usually end in a draw - too many figures - but God they look good
I've painted a Rebel Cavalry regiment, 1st North Carolina, to give me a complete Cavalry brigade of 3 regiments, horse artillery to follow. There will be an equivalent Union one, thanks to Christmas pressie from Dave.

The Thunder of hooves is not usually heard at sea but this one woke me up! A great start to an excellent project Martin! About time you stretched your target goal me lad :-)

Great work Martin, you are a painting machine.
ReplyDeletecheers, but I do need a good servicing
DeleteA fine looking bunch of rebel riders Martin. You are not only a machine but also gaining on Miles.
ReplyDeleteAnd Paul, Poseidon is god of both horses and the sea so that may explain the hooves that you hear.
Ta. So i didn't know that about Poseidon. Explains seahorses though
DeleteSplendid looking rebel cavalry, stars and bars and all!

ReplyDeletecheers
DeleteNice work Martin, good to see you dropping entire Regiments into a single post once again...
ReplyDeleteta, go big or go home
DeleteThe cavalry look great, Martin. I am envious of your table in the first picture, nicely decorated and a great size for a 'proper' wargame.
ReplyDeleteCheers. It's Matt's "pavilion" in his garden. One side is open to the elements but makes summer time gaming a joy
DeleteSo that was you in my shop, was it?!
ReplyDeleteAnother great unit. I've always rather liked the yellow caps of Confed cavalry, and you've done a good job with them!
Cheers, shopping the cornerstone of every hobby
ReplyDeleteThese lads look like they’re ready to cause a ruckus! Nice work.
ReplyDeleteCheers, hope so
DeleteLooking good, Martin!
