These are inspiring having just started this period  . What detail ! What is your technique ? Or do I just need to wear magnification lenses to get that level of facial detail and buttons !

People have commented that my painting is good but I would not dare post picvtures after seeing these 

Excellent !

They look terrific.

Hi 

Team Yankee 1861 do you have a link for the German rules? If you could post it that would be great.

thanks much

Sorry lerker :-)

Team Yankee 1861 is a joke ......no rules ;-)

Team Yankee Rules are from Flames of War

Berdan Sharpshooters

146th New Yourk Volunteers

10th Indiana Regiment

Federal Artillery with napoleonic guns

30th Virginia sharpshooters

Boy´s from Georgia.....

.....and Texas......

next regiment will be from Louisiana ....... Tiger Zouaves  

Glorious work. I will take on board the dice box idea for use with my own AoF armies. Really like the basing style. I have been loathe to use large vegetation clumps with the small minis, but it really does give a good impression of the more wild scenery of the 1860s American landscape.

Hello Andreas!

Fabulous work as always. Today I painted Berdan Sharpshooters and just noticed your unit. It was a refreshing change from blue, grey, etc., if only for a few hours.

Best regards,

Glenn

Re Berdan's: I like the way three of the figures are wearing various articles of standard uniform.

Thanks for comments dourpurritan and Glenn.

The 5mm Dice box is ok for gaming but not the best if you have big fingers like me ;-)

I tried 7mm but it does not look good if the dice is bigger than the figure.......for me .

I know your problem with the large vegetation clumps .... flowers hight like a man !? ......but you have to look at the whole picture.......and from the gaming distance it looks quite well.

Re Berdan´s ...you have a good eye ;-) It makes me happy when people notice the small details.

@ Glenn ....dark blue , blue , light blue , light light blue ......grey , dark , light ,..........15 different blues and grays ....its hard i know .....  if you will spend more hours in painting green .....5th Georgia Infantry Regiment , Alexandria Rifles 6th Battalion Virginia Volunteers or Woodis Rifles 6th Virginia Regiment ;-)
