Selling shirts in a civil war town

Ward's Shirts...a small one room building that specializes in selling shirts. The ad on the building and on the roof is an actual ad, not a copy from an 1862 newspaper.

A few additions to Union Headquarters

I've been working on my southern mansion, now Union Headquarters...tightening up some of the details, added a front door, pretty shot up but I think it adds something to the house. Added some front door lights, one on each side , and you'll notice one is shot up. most importantly I took it off its cardboard base and rebased it on 3/16 hardboard to give it some real stability. Ive done some other things that I'll post at a later time.

The Swamp

This is one of the favorite sections of my battlefield...The Swamp, located by the covered bridge in front of the confederate campsite. As you can see in the photos a dead soldier in the water. The rocks are real as are the trees, which are actually upside down weeds.  I like realism, the more real it looks the better I like it. Im constantly changing sections here and there until I get it as real as possible.
Comments are always welcome.
