Union Infantry - ACW - Models
« on: October 22, 2013, 05:20:50 »
Dear Friends,
In view of the suggestions, I have received over these past two years, I made the following models for my Union Infantry.
I hope I can assemble at least 16 of each soldier, plus 1 sergeant and 1 commander, for each regiment, totaling 180 Union militaries.
Some are ready and I've already posted the photos, others I already have the parts, but I just need time to assemble them.
I'm waiting for more suggestions to improve them.
Greetings

Infantry Regiments







Zouaves





Berdan's Sharpshooters e U.S. Marines

Those are great! Especially the sharpshooter! He's perfect! :love:

What did you use as... gaiters? Is that what they're called? On the legs of the blue zouave...

(note to self: I WILL NOT make CW regiments! but they are sooooo pretty.. NO. CANNOT. :-[ )

Tahra,
Why not make ACW regiments?
I think this is the best theme of Playmobil.  :love:
I have parts to assemble 500 soldiers, joining Union and Confederate.
Here you have 10 suggestions for getting started.  ;)
I don't know how to answer about 146th Zouaves legs, I bought this way on Ebay a 1 year ago.

Because I have far too many (klickys) already  :-[   And been adding roman legions? centuries? whatever  (to me THAT is probably the best theme).  Seriously, I don't need encouragements! Can't really get hundreds of ANOTHER theme. I do have a few...  My problem is that I kinda love them all, and have all themes.

Those legs must be customized, right? At least I don't think that mold exists...

Very nice! The painted buckles really add a lot.
