Hi folks
I recently received a torso and a hat from TFB ( quick service ) of a ACW subject details below ,so started looking around and found a fair few wearing the hunting shirt during the later 1812 war

After donating the cap to spares , I removed the tied hair and the buttons on shirt building up new facial hair and hair as well as a new shirt
I also added a collar and a necktie
Took off the end of cross belt adding another longer version with retaining strap
For the hat it was case of trial and error on both brim and crown together with a lot of carful sanding !
Added the side details on hat top edge and a brim band
Starting with this ( but the unbearded version )
Primary reference
More references and ideas if you wanted
Original shirts !
Good interesting book
Here's how he looks at the moment ...waiting basing up ready for priming
Stay tuned
Have FUN @ the bench
