Blanket rolls & touchups

Well I am still waiting on my figs from Sash and Saber to come in, and so I thought I would touch up a few things I'd seen in a few of the pics. And I've also been looking at some other people's stuff, especially here and I wanted to try my hand at a few blanket upgrades. I just did solid brown or gray for these at first but it makes a lot of sense that they would have home made blankets and whatever they could scrounge up. It definitely adds some more color to these.

Sash and Saber order!!

I just placed a big order tonight with Sash and Saber. Eighty infantry and four 12 pounders with crew.... so once those arrive I will be posting a lot more!

Workbench

Nothing special, just a few little things I've been messing with this week.

I'm trying to keep momentum going with my Flames of War, MW 8th Army Infantry Company- although it's difficult to keep painting dozens of stands with a 10 color desert pallete!




I was at Hobby Lobby one day and saw a box of AWI British soldiers on clearance for a few bucks, so of course I bought them! No real future for these other then just looking good! But they are a nice little break and an excuse to paint something with colors other then blue, gray, or tan!

19th Indiana

I painted these up a few weeks ago. The 19th Indiana, part of the Iron Brigade. I really like basing them en masse like this. I think it has a better look then the neat little lines.
