Both excellent figures

Malc

Thanks Malc will let you know when we have them, they have gone off for casting so should not be too long.

I think you just might enjoy them, it’s the start of a range we are doing called North & South, we hope people like the different to the normal uniforms. We shall see .

The red and grey of this uniform are really going to make this figure standout.

Both ACW and 75mm. Definitely going to step up for this one. I'd get the Rhode Island Infantry if it were an enlisted man. Never seen a RI officer wearing this particular uniform. Hint to Steve...do a regular RI soldier to accompany your officer

Hi Malc you got it my friend it does pop out yours is going to look great when done that’s for sure.

Hi Rick , this was why we did the unusual on the Rhode Island it’s different from wat you usually see. Eduard did the research for it and decided this was the way to go. We will be doing more in this range for sure so maybe in the future we may do a companion for him.

Both figures are proving very popular indeed so we know we have pick a couple of good subjects.

Cheers

I will certainly keep a lookout for new figures in this series and am glad they are proving to be popular. ACW is my favorite subject area. Let me know if I can ever be of help with research

Regards

Rick in Virginia

Thanks Rick we might have to take you up on that. We are looking for early war subjects that don’t get seen too much have lots of books on uniforms of the ACW between the team but always more to learn.

There are only seven rows of buttons and associated lace, there should be 9 from the painting and the original garment .

Easy fix as it's a 3d sculpt. Greg's dome a great job ,,cracking face

Stuart

Great sculpt....liking the top hat

Alan

Hi stu thanks for the info I will pass it on we went off a couple of paintings which by the looks of it were a little wrong In that case.

Greg did a cracking job on him the face is great and has come out very well indeed.

Alan, it’s the top hat that sold it to us we saw a couple of artworks and thought that’s different and interesting. So it was a go from the team and we are over joyed by what Greg has done with him.

Hi,
As said before this looks a great sculpt and some very nice detail my only small query is ,would he wear his belt over the straps of the ruck sack and water bottle.

Barry

Nap, I have been onto the guys to consider producing this as a bust. I think it will be a great complimentary range to there AWI in American history.
