I have become obsessed with painting 28mm ACW figures recently and was asked how I do it. So here's a simple video showing how I do Union Perry Plastic figures for tabletop standard.

Never be loathe to share your models and your approaches Dom. First off they are you models and anyone who offers unsolicited opinions on other's work can stuff it (remember people, opinions are like your genitals - unless specifically asked for, best kept tucked away)
Also, as you are a voice and face in the community, it is very important for new starters and other hobbyists to see that it is OK to ignore particularly rude grognards and trolls who would tell another adult how to paint their own models.
Especially about something like uniforms where (as somewhat of a subject expert) pre-modern logistics and supply led to clothing that was in no way 'uniform'.
thanks for the kind words mate. Appreciate it
Great work Dom, he looks like a Union soldier. The metal pieces that attach the barrel to the stock of the firearm are either bands or rings depending on where you are, well at least in the States.
ah yes I had a brainfart at that point of the video!
Top stuff mate, great guide, boots onto the table indeed
cheers buddy
"if you really have your own opinion on how to paint it..." Then do your own video...Great job brother...keep it up...if they "really" had their own opinion on how it's done they wouldn't need to watch yours...
Thanks 👍
And getting there the fastest with the mostest painted figures!
that's the plan!
Looks great, Dom! Don't concern yourself too much with the colors. Original examples of Union uniforms are like German WW1-2 colors, every shade and tone under the sun. Really no two alike. Ohio and some east coast regiments were issued un-tarred haversacks. How you painted them is just fine.
cheers mate, that's what I thought too
I also like to start with the skin. Gives the character the initial personality.
The last drybrush is a thing I should test in the future. 🤔
yeah I dont know why but I've always been a skin first painter
Looks brilliant Dom. Would love to see guides for your zouaves and rebels.
OK thanks will do then
Those are very nicely painted. Thanks for another enjoyable vid.
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice job, looks good and quick. This maybe a little late , but thought this maybe of interest. The "bag" or haversack was made of black oil cloth, the majority of the canteens were covered in drab wool (dark blue, grey, and some light blue as well), musket slings were undyed leather. The bed rolls for Federals would generally be either the soldier's blanket (grey), or his shelter half (white), or maybe his poncho (black). There were a couple of regiments that had red blankets (1st & 2nd Rhode Island). Go nuts with the Rebels (aka Cornfeeds) the worn what ever they could get.
that's very useful thanks very much
Darn you man, darn you! Finished the Epic ACW box a while ago, thoroughly enjoyed it actually. I do not need 28mm, I do not need 28mm, say it with me now, “Must go to Perry and buy battle in a box” - no, no, that’s not what we agreed to say! ……. 😂
everyone needs 28mm.....
Aside the 7 or 8 adverts, great hobby guide video Dom, and yes please similar one on the Confederates!
Thanks! Will do! Sorry adverts beyond my control
Great job Dom! I'm just about painting a ton more ACW from Perry!
of course you are mate!
Great video Dom, always good to see the tricks of the trade. Nothing wrong with my viewing habits I'll have you know :D
I think you know there is Ste!
Nicely Done, Dom...!!
thanks
Lovely work dom 👏
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video thank you for sharing that, would be good to see CSA as well if you get any time in the future. Thank you.
Will do
Brilliant work I think it really matters about the colours of the jackets or trousers as they seem to vary from different books I think it's just down to wear and tear that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it but brilliant paint job well done👍👍👍🤠🤠🤠
Totally agree!
Lovely thank you for posting!!!
No problem!
An excellent tutorial Dom, well explained plus a great finish
cheers mate
Looks great!
Thanks!
I like your method as I have to paint 100+ 15mm Yankees and it looks straight forward, Simone with a good outcome. Thanx from Australia
Actually thinking about it 200 plus
