A bit of a rest from the ACW Project whilst the rest of the bits and pieces for the upcoming battles are prepared. A Long awaited Addition to the 1/72nd medieval ranges, a complete set of archers to cover the 13th to the 15th centuries. Not Strelets usual "chunky " Style, this lot are a lot...

As with the English archers set, the kit and the weapons are similar to the Irish, Scottish etc soldiery of the period, so again, the titel is a bit..er?..restricting ? IMHO, They could have used the Titel, Medieval Men-At-Arms - 13th-14th Century equally as well. Full PSR Review HERE 12 poses...

Union "Jayhawkers" as an addition alongside the regular cavalry. This lot are supposed to be the 7th Regiment Kansas Volunteer Cavalry, aka "Jennison's Jayhawkers", which had William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody among it´s ranks. I couldn´t find a specific flag for the Regiment so went for a...

Bits and pieces of Terrain keeping to the Old School "cheap,cheerfull, robust and quick" idea behind the Project. The difficulty is trying to not get too involved with the Terrain.. the aim is for a more early wargames days, not quite as sparse or simplistic as just using the lawn * aka...

Conderate "Bushwackers" to represent the 18th Virginia Cavalry and the First Virginia Partisan Rangers aka 62nd Virginia Mounted Infantry... "McNiell´s Rangers" More or less the same bods and nags as with "Jennison's Jayhawkers" but this lot got a bugler and...  ....Manolito from the...

4 regiments of Union infantry. Close ups 22nd United States Colored Infantry. As far as I can tell, the USCT (United States Coloured Troops) don´t seem to get much representation in wargaming, which, considering they made up around 10% of the Union Army is ..?..Odd? For whatever reason...

Again, like the first post on Terrain for the project, the aim is for quick, cheap, easy and durable stuff. Trees. 13 "Toytown" trees as approved by Noddy and Bigears. As and when, I´ll replace or add to them..(??...no, on second thoughts..I´ll definately replace them) with those...

The 4 confederate regiments aimed for are now finished. Is 80 really enough ? The 3rd Texas Infantry The 28th Regiment, North Carolina 20th Reg. Texas Volunteers. The officer got a head swop. 3rd South Virginians The flag of the 3rd South Virginians came with a Batch of unpainted...

..and, Thanks to Mark I´ve finally been able to add two more limbers to the Project so every gun has it´s own limber. Along with the stuff that Mark sent there were a couple of broken limbers, the towing bars were broken off (plasic rot) but seeing as I already had a couple of broken ones...

2 lots of CSA Infantry (40 in total) finished and based. Another 40 are nearing completion. Based according the the base sizes in the Airfix American Civil War Wargaming book, 25mm x 20mm for 4 bods per base. Planned is at least 4 "regiments" per side but more could be added depending on supply...

Some additions to the artillery..conversions using bods from the Airfix Waterloo British Artillery set. Easy..remove the frilly bits on the jackets, replace the heads, paint and base. I liked the look of the Sabres so I left them on. Union. The one moving the wheels ended up a bit defunct due...

Slowly it´s coming together. The Artillery finished....well, sort of. I´ve got a couple more guns and Crews so if I get some more limbers I´ll add some more to both batteries...3 per side Sounds like a good number. The Gun Teams. Bases for the Guns, 5cm´s per side. The individual bods, 12.5mm...

32 in total, 16 for the Union and 16 for the Confederacy. Based on 2mm MDF board. The Union Bods. I kept one of the Standard bearers with the original flag..I didn´t have the heart to remove it. Basing sizes, according to the Airfix American Civil War Wargaming book. Infantry - single...

...after the 2nd WW, everyone had signed up to genuine real and Lasting peace on earth? Not a cessation of hostilities for a short period while each and every side vied for new angles on causing friction in order to fill up the arms order books but a genuine realisation we have the same Basic...

A round up of recent bits and pieces. Union General He has appeared in a previous post but now he´s got a Standard bearer alongside him. The bod is from the Artillery set, sabre sheath added by welding a staple to his side. The flag...I haven´t a clue whose or what Regiment it is...Looks ok...

Two Batches of cavalry, one for the Union and one for the CSA. With the recent new recruits (HERE) I´ll be able to make up another two Units. Then a bit of mix and matching and onto their bases they go. The CSA have had a couple of head swops. Ok, anyone who has an idea about CSA cav (or...

New recruits for the Airfix ACW Project bought at the 42.Plastikfigurenbörse, Herne. I haven´t counted them but it was a bit of a bargain, €15 for around about 500 bods, horses and wagons. In the bags there´s the marching poses, 40 plus Union, 20 plus Confederacy, 20 1st issue airfix foriegn...

Taking a bit of time off from painting the rank and file..Some conversions A Union General. This one was a bit of a more complicated conversion than I´d intended but after rooting about in the bits box I found a similar conversion (seen HERE in glorious Humbrol enamels along with a few other...
