"Small Troop" Movement

You will notice that these figures are a bit bigger than my usual ACW offerings. For a number of reasons the Airfix ACW Project has moved over to my other "In The Grand Manner" blog (June will be quietish at Waterloo to Mons as a result).

However I will still be painting up ACW figures on this blog...using the classic Peter Gilder figures I have had knocking around for a while.

I have gone completely retro with the painting and basing style-I was very undecided on gloss vs matt varnish but as all of the classic Gilder ACW images I have are matt finished it was a no-brainer in the end.

These are Connoisseur figures, I have a number of matching rebel infantry and some classic Hinchliffe Union in the pipeline.
