[Viking Bob]

Now completed FeR miniatures 16th New York Infantry, 1861 by David Zabrocki. I am pleased with the overall look and painting of this one and I hope he will do some more ACW figures.

You sneaked this one in quickly, you've only just finished the 28th foot.
Very nicely done, like the groundwork too.
