Sir, butternut is a real color. Confederate uniforms at the Smithsonian Institution were made of a mix of white and brown threads and this is what produced the butternut color. There were other variations as well. The mixing of dark blue and white threads produced the light blue union trousers and overcoats. 8:07
Dom, I use a cheap silicone clay shaper to spread my basing material in hard to reach places. The tool cleans very easy and has a good springy texture to it to move the material around easier than smaller metal tools or an old brush. I bought a pack of them from an art supply store in the US for $5. Take care!
Great tutorial. Honestly, I don't think you should have to justify how you paint your figures. Sadly the rivet counters seem to have infected every period in wargaming. The simple thing is to ignore them and they'll go away.

Great tip!
Nice one Dom. I've become completely enamored with painting confederates also recently, so bloody fun!
Great to hear! They are strangely fun!
Nice work, I like the motley look of campaign-weary troops and irregular militias
Cheers mate
Great job Dom! Thanks for sharing. Have fun in Turkey!
Thanks! Will do!
State Militia uniforms were basically whatever the state wanted to issue. Some were very fancy indeed
yeah i have been reading through my uniform books and they are pretty flamboyant in many cases
There nothing wrong with them. Brilliant job 👍👍👍🤠🤠🤠👏👏

Kep-ee not Keep-ee. From the French who were influencing military uniforms around the world at the time.

Your biggest 'cheat' is using huge figures to paint on.
C'mon, Dom, you know that 6mm figures are where it's at for ACW. 🤣
Noooooooooo
