Not sure Tim, quite a few of the figures I’m painting have forage caps. I only have an old Osprey book for reference and really need to do a bit more research as this makes fascinating reading

Hi Mick
I think the Hardee hats were dress uniform, and most troops preferred the undress forage cap or kepi. Hardee’s were only worn by the iron brigade in the eastern theatre, but were more widely used in the western theatre I believe.
Don’t take any of this as gospel though, ACW uniforms are deceptively complex......

This little sprue of figures is ready for the table top, if I still played. I have a Union artillery piece to do but I need to crack on as the night fighter group build is approaching. I’m definitely going to do some more of these as I’ve really enjoyed them.

Looking good Mick, nice to see them lined up....well worth the exorbitant eBay price

Wow Mick,

They are very nicely done Sir. I take it you beefed up the bases with a little grass and bits too as they look great!!!

[Mickc1440]

Thanks Ralph.
Cheers Allen, yes I add a bit of filler to the bases then paint, finish of with some flock etc
