Bit of a slow week last week on the painting front-I have changed departments at work and am being shown around which has meant a few long trips around the country.Anyway this week is proper hours and as promised tonight I finished the first of the Jacklex ACW bases and as you can see they are a fantastic match in style and size for the Airfix figures.
There is no standard bearer or musician in the Jacklex range, so the flag bearers are advancing figures with their muskets replaced with a wire flag pole. Nice and retro!
Part of an ebay purchase from last year, I think I have enough for a small Union unit at the moment. At the same time that I purchased them on ebay I also bought the cavalry bottom right. These guys are now sitting in paint stripper and will form a rebel cavalry unit to take on the Union Airfix cavalry I started ages ago.
Jacklex are still available from Spencer Smith.

They look great! and thanks for the comparison shot. I was pondering some Jacklex to fill some gaps and looks like they could be the ticket.

Haven't checked against Airfix, but the Rose Zulu Wars figures I do match Jacklex beautifully - it's a small range, so I've got guns/artillery/cavalry on my various birthday lists to let me build up an army. ACW range does have a standard bearer and should fit well. Rose guns are nice.
