Battlelinescenics (Mark Fenlon ACW 28mm)

I ordered some of the newly revived line of Fenlon minis. BattlelineScenics bought the Mark Fenlon line and are now selling minis. I ordered several zouaves and the Gettysburg CS P.O.W.s. The figures were very clean and the metal a good quality. I highly reccomend the line. The site is still under conctruction but if you email them they will send you a price list and photos.



The newly completed 146th NY

I was bored and didnt have anything to paint

So I made this...

25mm ACW blacksmith and forge

Here are some pics of the support for my federal artillery train, caissons to come. I picked up the Old Glory french Napoleonic forge set and converted the minis with some heads cut from Sash & Saber minis. I think they came out fairly decent...

New US and CS 25mm battalions

Here are 2 shots of my newest US and CS battalions. I still have to paint the command staff and will get some more pics up soon.

New 25mm ACW Federal Units

I recently acquired another fellows collection, these were minis from several different ranges (Mark Fenlon, Old Glory, Foundry, Sash & Saber, Renegade, and Redoubt) I didn't want any units to stand out as different so I remounted them all in mixed manufacturer companies. I am pleased with the results. The pics below are not the best but i think it really adds an interesting level. When you look at photos of real ACW units you see men of all heights and builds. While I wouldn't do this for the ones I paint up on my own I really think this helped bland them into my current collection.

25mm ACW Federal Hospital and Ambulance

I bought the Old Glory 2 wheeled ambulance. Its a nice cart but not really representative of a 2 wheeled Coolidge pattern ambulance (original image below). So I broke out some balsa, tissue paper, and paints and added a 'canvas' top and frame. I also made a rider up with a hospital flag. Would you have seen this in the field? No... but I like all of my units to have colors for display purposes. I left him unglued so I can remove him during games.

Here is the whole 'unit'
