From PaulSS: Virginia Firing Line - 76pts

Over the Christmas and New Years break I managed to crank out a unit of Confederates between family time. I had planned to paint them during this challenge, but, they were not on the original schedule to be done for a few more weeks.

All the figures are from the Perry Miniatures range and are made up of a pack each of Confederate Infantry in ‘shell’ Jackets skirmishing, Confederate Infantry firing line and half a pack of Confederate Infantry command standing, more figures from that last pack in a future post.


I painted these in batches of four using the same palette for each batch with a "guest colour" in each of the batches to add a touch of variety.


The Virginia state flag is from Flags of War, although it looks to have frosted a little with the varnishing, so I'll have to sort that out!

Fifteen 28mm infantry figures and a point for the flag should add 76pts to my total.

Very nice looking ACW dudes here Paul, I love your painting style and the bases look amazing too. You can never go wrong with Perry models and you have done them justice with your work, well done! 76 points added.

  8. Great clean painting with a varied palette. Perry figures are fun to paint once cleaned up.

    1. Thank you Tom, the less said about the first clean up, the second cleanup while base coating and the third cleanup later on in the process, the better.

  11. I really like these, I just dug into my acw box yesterday and found the ambulance set and two 6 horse artillery sets. Acw is so much fun to paint and what a stunning unit you have done here.
