Cheng,
Great customization.
How do you get symbols?
And a question, are you using winchester carbine (1873) for ACW diorama?  ???
I'm just joking.  :lol:

thanks Leonardo!
i was never happy using those i call 'napoleonic' muskets but I did find out that these winchesters came a bit later....and my indian-fighting US calvary carries them....the newer musket (I dont know the difference between all these terms) you showed with your Mexican army, will be more appropriate but I dont want to buy so many (I've many more Union soldiers all carrying winchesters. Can some tell me if there's any obvious historical difference between the older PM musket and the newer US Cavalry ones? or are they interchangeable? except the newer ones cant be properly fitted with PM bayonets  ???

Very impressive customs, Cheng.  :)9  We could use them here in Gettysburg!
