I've painted this and would highly recommend it! Great sculpting by Pete Morton.

Does it come with a CS belt buckle or do you have to alter this one to CS?

Ether alter it, or paint it as Union.
It's a lovely piece,
Carl.

Hello
I understand that Pete sculpted this piece wearing a union belt plate as it was common practice by the southern forces who had very little equipment and took what they could get hold of.

Another possibility - slice if off, and attach it upside down. CSA troops used acquired Union gear, but reportedly wore the buckles in this manner.

When I painted this figure, I scraped the buckle off and used one of the photo etched buckles available from Michael Roberts. I used a buckle to represent an Alabama regiment.

Great pose, I really like this one,this one could be painted in any mix of uniform, as you said Gordon, the Confederates wore anything they could get hold of due to short supplies of clothing equipment & weapons,they were a mix of Confederate, Union and civilian kit they really were a ragbag army from before Gettysburg and to the end of the Civil War.

Be as easy to just use a dab of Miliput and fill the buckle if it bothers you that much, as has been mentioned the Confederates were in rag order for most of the war and would wear/use anything they could get.

The belt buckle was going to say Lynard Skynard but I couldnt fit it on

This figure has everything a nice miniature should have: great subject and pose, the right scale, except .................. it is casted in bl***y resin. I hasten to add that I might try this one for a change though .

Well done Mr Morton!

Not my period of interest but I recognise something good when I see it and this is way better than good.
As Johan says everything a miniature should have.
Outstanding work Pete.

A few months ago I bought this beautiful figure from Maurice Corry.
Too bad that I ordered and paid for two, but I received only one!
Although I had been promised that I would be sent the second or get your money back, but I never received anything .....
However, I would recommend this really figure, because the sculpture is very nice indeed.
