Great little scene!! I like both sides...the confederacy for it´s tenaciousness and the Union side for it´s regimented look. They both seem to balance each other out in dissimilarity of look and style on the battlefield. But I have to admit to liking the confederate flag a bit more...a very striking set of colours :-D Cheers paul
Guys, thank you for the great comments, I truly apprieciate them. Alex, as far as the flags go, depending on which ones your talking about are mostly taken from the internet and repainted. I usually paint both sides and put a piece of tin foil between them before you glue them together, the tin foil will make the flag bend anyway you want. With the cloth flags, I use one piece of cloth. I use a dish cloth, its pretty thin and has a little texture to it. Once you paint both sides it will get stiff and you can bend it easier than a paper flag.
Another marvelous piece with so much feeling to it. Your efforts are tireless and rewarding. Regards, Dean
ReplyDeleteGreat figures, extremely well painted I love the flag draped over the table, just adds a sense of realism to the scene.
ReplyDeleteAnother great piece. Nice new header btw
ReplyDeleteWell, they did win, great work on that.
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant scene. Very artistic and very well done.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent scene! Of course, as a native of the state of Maryland, I have an appreciation for both union and confederate models. :)

Ah Captain Richard, how splendid to see those northern gentlemen - I was beginning to suspect you of southern sympathies!
