I need a 54mm American civil war female figure

[pgarri27]

I want to do a 54mm scene of a ACW soldier saying goodbye to his wife, and I am looking for a female figure that will fit this time period. Anyone have a suggestion?

Hey Petey. I think IR released one. Saratoga Soldier should have it.

Thanks Steve! I'll check it out.

Hello Petey, Could'nt find a good female figure, but maybe you could convert one. The female in the painting is wearing civil war clothing from the period. Hope this might help. Regards, SG

You could try some of the old Phoenix range Edwardian and Victorian period http://www.forty-third.co.uk/32_phoenix_victorian.htm .

Pete, just saw two figures on ebay from one of the Ron Hinote series for the Franklin Mint that you may want to look at. May take a little refining but a start.

Nothing new to add, I can only second the preceding suggestions. Imrie-Risley and Phoenix both came to mind, and it's always worth fishing the eBay fishin' hole.

Prost!

Metal Models has a couple of female figures in their line that may be worth a look. The 1st Empire - Middle Class may a starting place.

As an ex American Civil War re-enactor I can say for definite that the Phoenix models that have been mentioned are not quite right for that period as they are all late 1875-1900 England style of dresses. What you want to look for are more like the Southern Bell / Scarlet O'Hara style of dress. Here is a small selection of photos from many years camping.
