Hi there. I was hoping to post this a little sooner but I've been waiting to find time to photograph this lot.
Continuing with my Confederate force, I've produced another infantry unit, this time from the 8th Virginia regiment.
Most of these guys were painted before Christmas but had to wait til New Year before I could wrap up the entire unit.
Once again, these are from the Dixon Miniatures range with every man in the unit different.
Formed in Leesberg VA by Colonel Eppa Hunton, the regiment, also known as "The Old Bloody Eighth" would go on to suffer 90% casualties during Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg.
Once again I'm just so impressed with the individuality and character of the Dixon sculpts. It is certainly helping my enthusiasm with this project with all their diversity. The flag is from Redoubt Enterprises as per usual.
Next up will be an artillery piece, a 10pdr Parrot rifled gun. The crew are already complete so it's a case of sorting the gun out and basing it all. Then hopefully I can take a break from the rebs and make a start on the Union.
Looking great!
ReplyDeleteCheers Andrew!

ReplyDeleteHi there, would it be possible to use one of your photos of Dixon ACW figures to help decorate an article/interview we have with Trevor Dixon in an upcoming issue of Wargames Illustrated magazine? (full credit given). Kind regards Dan Wi
