Lovely work, I find these epic actually really nice to paint. Do for customers like you do myself as well, thinking about doing some of these ACW like you for a side project too, thanks for your tips and take on them. I'm looking at cutting the stands myself and thinking of making smaller square stands for regiments with an avarage of 5 stands per regiment. Rules will fit with anything I do I'm sure. Cheers.
The Epics are perfect for a side project as so cheap to buy and fast to paint up. The ACW's can also be cut in half quite cleanly by just cutting through the base first then gently bending. Thanks for leaving a commend and sorry I took so long to reply! Lee.
Thank you :) For my Union blue shades I use: Jackets - Vallejo 'Blue' 70.925, then add a touch of Flat Blue highlights. Trousers/pants: I run Flat Blue right across the legs front and back and then a quick highlight with 'Azure' it's the prefect shade for the Yankee faded blue and much more accurate than the Sky Blue often seen on figures :) Hope this is useful.

Superb
Cheers Norm :)
They look very nicely done 👏🎲
Thank you, I'm enjoying this little side project.

That's an impressive force
Thank you, quick and easy to paint!
Really nice work. What’s your recipe for the union blue please?

Lovely work are they varnished and if so what with I like the look they look sort of satin or is that just the lighting
Many thanks. I use satin varnish on most of my figures, gives just a slight sheen and lifts the colours.
