G'day to you ! Well done, look good ,I am now 74 and have have been painting ACW plastics on and off for last 15 years or so,I have several regiments of Zouaves ,North and South plus all troops in between, including a Regimental Band, made by a Russian Company who also did a special 2 box set of all the North and South Generals, which came out quite well, have not done any painting for the last year or so cause I had a stroke! Perth West Aust.
Very cool. I started wargaming with the american civil war and airfix 1/72 scale infantry, cavalry and artillery. We used the french foreign legion airfix models for zouaves. That’s what we had, but it was 50 years ago. Keep us posted on your armies updates 👍🏻
Great work! Your Confederates look ready to take the field. I've been working my way through the original starter set and its time consuming indeed. But when you group all the units on the table they look amazing! Keep us posted.
I’ve done both the ACW and napoleonic. I’m just starting to do the Hannibal battle set. I have a friend that is doing the ECW and loves them. What’s also nice about the epic is that you can use them in other table games as the playing pieces.
lovely work! zouaves gotta be my favourite, i think the flags are incorrect though, normally theres like the national flag & regiment flag but otherwise nice work :)
With the flags you'd normally want to go with one battle flag of the northern army of virginia and then one state flag or one national flag and one state flag, also one trick I used is that you can cut the man not attached to the artillery off and move him around the base wherever you'd like adding a bit of variation to your artillery models
They look very nice, it's funny you are burnt out with 28mm and find the epic scale rewarding, I paint 6mm and the odd 10mm and never looked back. For what we look to achieve on the gaming table the smaller scale models allow us to paly all the massive battles of history and in a day. The sheer cost of the 28mm stuff and just how long it takes to paint up and look decent is enough to put me off but to play something like Gettysburg in 28mm would required a 30 ft wide table! horses for courses
@@RagedSmeagol I have been tempted by 6mm, perhaps I'll tackle my napoleonics that scale one day. I do like the look of HYW in 6mm too. Too many ideas too little time lol. Thanks for the comment!
I'm going to be that guy and say that you have your units carrying both the First and Second Confederate National Flags when one of the standards should be either a state flag or a battle-flag.
@@tinsoldierwargaming7698 Happy to help. The Stars and Bars is used till May 1863 and would gradually be replaced by the Second Flag(known as the Stainless banner). By December of that year all units in the ANV should be carrying it..things went a bit slower in the Western theatre.
I think they all present brilliantly at that scale. I feel like I need some historic wargaming in my life.
@@grimdm thank you. The scale certainly adds to the mass effect
I love painting smaller scales. I have a 6mm Alexandrian army that was a lot of fun to paint

@@paulofreire7520 thank you, will do! Working on some cavalry bith mounted and dismounted now
I enjoy painting them in strips. Epic looks great on the table, very impressive.
Nice work! Keep it up, and have fun with 'em!
Be well.
@@bruceschmidt3404 thanks, you too!
I find hopping between scales and tabletop projects helps me stay engaged and stave off burnout, too. Think your ACW figures look great!

@@d.r.4453 thanks mate!
Those rebels look great! Time well spent
thanks mate!

@@dougcarmichael8782 I have my eye on the hannibal set. Hope you enjoy it!
Great video. I’ve been wanting to get into ACW epic. Thanks for sharing.
thanks for the comment!
Their looking good. Only the painter knows what could have been possible. 😉
I find painting the ACW epics easier than the P&S. 🙂
Great work, and look great on the table top 👍👍
@@Roll-Some-Dice thanks mate. Your bat reps have been a great inspiration
@@tinsoldierwargaming7698 cheers dude, nice of you to say 👍🏻
Its always good to switch projects,just to stop the burnout they look good
My burnout is coming fast and free these days, hopefully I can settle on something lol
Outstanding work, they look superb!!
@@philRminiatures thanks mate
I’m just finishing off my ACW Paper Armies (Peter Dennis).As soon as you finish an army,someone comes out with something new/better!
They look the business sir .. Excellent
thank you!
Outstanding workmanship 😍😍
Good for you! For me, 28mm is only for small skirmishes of 5 to 10 miniatures per side, above that, I prefer smaller scales.
Beautiful
looks like a fun project
thanks mate!
I hear ya mate!...but I'm not subjecting my eyeballs to epic lol
Look gr8,you'll never see the details anyway
you just get those brits painted!
lovely work! zouaves gotta be my favourite, i think the flags are incorrect though, normally theres like the national flag & regiment flag but otherwise nice work :)
Thank you!
It's really cool.
Those look great! Now do the Union.
thank you, Union on the way!

Am I seeing things, or is the new Hannibal stuff larger than the ACW?
wicked
thank you!

cheers for the information! I was following the flag sheet without really knowing what I was doing. Thanks for clarification!
