I love this ever growing army! And I like that flag, simple but good!

[MABO]

Your output is really stunning!

Hello mates...

5th New York City Infantry Regiment.

Some inaccuracies as usual...
I'm running out of suitable Zouave figures (a shame as I'd like to do the 146th New York Volunteers) so I had to use the more modern figures from the Emhar set. Added a bit of glue to disguise the bolt as a lock and it's done. Do more would drop my production rithym...
And once mixed with all their shelf mates, they do the job well. At least at my low level of demand.

Now I see that the eagle on the flag is facing backwards.
I'm getting clumsy... Even more than before...
Oh boy...

All the best!
Joan

Great work Joan!

Beautifully painted and as atmospheric as always.

Personally, I would remove the eagles. They look very big and the actual real thing is quite small. However, Abe the battle Eagle of a Wisconsin regiment I believe ( I think it died of smoke inhalation from memory) was an actual eagle.

A suggestion would be, cut foil or paper perhaps.

Best wishes,

Chris

These are looking great, as always, and a nice addition to your ACW collection. Those New Yorkers always were flash dressers!

Washington Grays

Despite their uniform, these guys are on the side of the Union…
I don't think they wandered around much or saw much action wearing that dodgy gray.
But I like extravagant and unusual units and this gives me a break from so much blue.
Cheers

Nice painted units again!

[despertaferro]

Hello,
These are the Irishmen of the 69th New York Infantry Regiment.

I plan to make more Irish units, like a couple per side.
This gives me a chance to push the reality vs. fantasy a bit and make some flamboyant CSA's unit like the Emerald Guards, Sarsfield Southrons or 2nd Tennessee...

I hope you're all ok.
Warm Regards
Joan

I think this will be my last post for a while. Tomorrow I leave for the Canary Islands where I'll be shooting until November. Maybe I can go home some weekend and try to post something I've almost finished, but I'm not sure about…

Have a nice Summertime!
Joan

[Bill Slavin]

Fantastic, Joan! I really like the variety of figures you introduce, it creates a very realistic ragtag sort of army. Enjoy the Canary Islands!

Best wishes,
Bill

I love your non-vibrant painting style... some would call it grimdark

[Peter]

Great mix of painted figures! And I see some very clever conversions!
