2nd Confederate Infantry Regiment

This week saw me putting the finishing touches to my 2nd ACW Confederate infantry regiment and getting a 3rd regiment to around 60% completed. I also got started on a small painting commission for a work-mate (I know, I said I wouldn't do commissions anymore *sigh*) that I'll stick up in a future post.

Once again, a flag will be added once all regiments are painted.

These pics were taken with real sunlight (Not the daylight bulbs I normally use). Seems to have washed out some of the colour...

Splendid looking bunch of misfits if I do say so myself.


For some reason I was under the impression that I'd need 4 infantry regiments painted up to be able to start playing in a Longstreet campaign, but I was corrected by Stewart who informed me I only need 3. Far more palatable and paint-able. (Is that even a word?) Hope to have that 3rd regiment done and ready for pictures before the weekend and then it's back to painting Winter Soviets as Densmol just got some German Fallschirmjager and is furiously painting them up ready to play some more Bolt Action!

    1. Thanks sir. I just want to be able to play a game - can't do that when all of one's troops are stuck to lolly-sticks waiting to be painted!

  4. Great looking rebs, nice and messy, not your painting but their non uniform appearance.

    1. Thanks for stopping by Iain. I think our mutual hobby friend TheMadPadre would like them messier still, but they'll do for me and the limited time I manage to set by for my hobby. :)
