Dml -Civil War Figures?

[mcsnead17]

I have a lot of the DML -American Civil War figures and I would like to do them the right way so I asking anybody that would like to help me with this project if they know of after market materials that I can buy so the figures have the look of realism ok .

These look pretty convincing. On the picture below the rolled blankets and knapsacks were added. I don`t think that much more is needed to get a good result. But it means that they have to be built instead of discussed.
Cheers, Martin

Martin,
This has just reminded me that I’ve got this set somewhere in the house. Your photo and link have set the mind working.
Now all I’ve got to do is locate the box.

Found it!
I'd forgotten how good these were. They're 54mm (not 1/35) with plenty of bits and pieces. DML even supplied a piece of thin wire for the ramrods.
The price on the box was especially good when I bought it years ago ... HK$ 30 (equivalent to £ 2.50).
With such quality and value for money, I'm going to have to have a go at a vignette very soon.

In answer to the original question, Brian hit the nail on the head suggesting Shenandoah Miniatures for anything that is not included in the kit.
Haversacks are already included in the box, together with cartridge and cap boxes, bayonets, etc, etc.
The only other thing that I can think might be required are blanket rolls, which would be best made from thin epoxy putty, rolled-up and shaped to the figure and its equipment.
Enjoy your modelling; I know I'm going to.
Andrew
