Your very welcome Captain R,
ReplyDeleteWhat is interesting it the amount of us painting toy soldiers who have had some past experience with design/print.
Keep up the cool painting. Any plans for some Rebel cavalry with the yellow cap?
Cheers
Paul
Hi Paul,
ReplyDeleteActually in the beginning of this blog there is a Confederate cavalry with the yellow caps..but you can never have enough rebels.
Dick aka Captain Richards
