Completed Yankees. The good guys wore blue.t

Oh that sounds damned good, I usually have planet rock on, though I finished my Kurassier to the gentle vibes of Ramstien!

As for the ground work, scrub and small saplings would be the easiest, that said I have no idea what terrain the wilderness campaign was fought in so don't listen to me!
Cheers Simon

Is your Kurassier on here? It'd be good to see it.
Not familiar with Ramstien... opera? I suspect something more earthy?
Wilderness was cleared woodland that had been left to grow back, so was brush, brambles and young trees. Kind of as bad a territory to fight in as you can imagine. It caught fire and burned the wounded alive.
Charming topic.

Memories of standing at a urinal in the Appalachian Brewing Company restaurant restroom, in Gettysburg, with "FM" by Steely Dan playing on the PA.

"Who's that drunk Limey guy singing along in that weird accent......?"

David, yes my Kurassier is on here, I'd give you a link but really that sort of thing is a bit beyond my technical ability! Seriously I am really crap with social.media, much to my families frustration I worked out how to turn off notifications, not that I ever heard them anyway.

Ramstien are a German band, heavy metal doesn't cut it they are as I call them industrial.metal. look them up on YouTube, might not be your thing but as a blues lover I also love my metal and they are ace.

Thank you. It's nice to be able to work indoors, on the ground work, now the figures are finished.

Thanks Nap

Accessorising, darling...
This is a Confederate canteen, not attached to a Reb, so it has to be fixed temporarily to the Heath-Robinson holder here to facilitate painting.

They certainly are. I made two and they're great for painting knapsacks before attaching them to figs.

Thanks for letting me know

Nice bit of mud there David, looking forward to the plants etc. Jazz why not, don't tell anyone but I quite like ABBA!

Cheers Simon

 

[Dr Force]

Oooooooh mud……let’s go!

 

[David Spencer]

Is mud a thing on here?
"Mud.com ... For all your grubby needs!" ?
It'll have scatter grass (not "scat grass") sprinkled over it, then dead heather stems to replicate tree trunks etc.
Then the accessories.

Because one simply MUST accessorise!

 

[David Spencer]

This big bag of scatter grass cost less than a fiver from Amazon.co.uk
Fifty pence piece for scale.

It'll see me out...

 

[Briggsy]

Wow that's a big bag of grass, hmm maybe I shouldn't call it that on line. Do people still call it grass or is that consigned to the long lost past!

Cheers Simon
