69th New York, the Fighting 69th


It's the Union turn to get some attention, so a quick order to North Star and I've added a union of New York Irish to the collection.

All the figures are from the Fighting 69th. set from Crusader Miniatures and are lovely casts, although a bit thinner than the Perry Miniatures so look a bit more sparse on their bases, maybe I should have mounted these in fours rather than threes. 


Several of the figures are supplied bare-footed and they give a bit of flavour.


The standards are from Flags of War and are included in the set, having looked at the photos, the green seems a little fogged by the varnish, so I'll likely give that another coat of brush-on to sort it out.

Some close ups.



Hope to get these chaps out on the table soon.

    1. Thanks Dean, I swore that after painting and selling about five ACW armies I'd never do another....
