Union 6MM Cavalry (and other units on the pics).

On the Baccus Forum we had a lively discussion or debate about the basing of ACW Cavalry.

After reading books about Brandy Station, Trevilian Station and others… I concluded that I needed more variety than the standard 60x30MM base (one brigade) of many stablished popular rules.

Here are the results.

Of course I will do my own thing as usual!

Enjoy!

As usual I keep been doing other things at the same time… mainly polishing details on 6MM minis, and priming 54MM mounted Officers.

HM Queen Elizabeth II is there so to help in the future insignia to be painted in King Charles III, the others are a British Guards Officer with binoculars and Churchill as an Officer of the 4th Hussars 1890’s…

And YES this small one is a 42MM… the only one in my collection!

Enjoy!

The sky blue colour was a bit fluid…

I had a set of Guardsmen from REPLICA and decided to assemble them after a crisis (I nearly sent them away to be painted!)… then on reflection I thought better paint myself… long winter months ahead (if there is a winter).

Enjoy!

Nearly finished priming…
While the US Cavalry is drying… assembling some figures!
That figure would become King Charles III (quite probably!)
