Barksdale's Mississippians

I have been away for the past couple of weeks and been unable to comment on so many of your posts. I have been reading most of them though and will start catching up with as many as I can.

For now here are some photos of the latest batch of Rebels for our Gettysburg game. These guys will be part of Brig -Gen William Barksdale's Brigade made up of four Mississippi regiments. Those being the 13th, the 17th, the 18th and the 21st .  I still have another three stands to paint up for this brigade and they are on the painting table now! 

 The next bunch of photos are of the rest of my Rebels. I have another 11 stands painted but waiting to be based and another 11 stands that I have just started painting.

 

 

Happy Easter everyone!!!!

Artillery from the South.

For the Gettysburg refight I will need three guns and crew for the Division that I am doing and I also need to come up with two more guns and crew for my share of the Corp artillery.

These guys are all from Foundry. Bought several years ago but finally now they have some paint. They are a mixture of a number of sets, some of which were going to be Union but because of this game they have been pressed into Confederate service.

A variety of bronze and iron barreled guns.

With our Gettysburg refight coming up in July I needed to paint up more Rebels for my part in the game. Here is another 8 stands to go with my rather small force that is painted so far.

The figures are all from Renegade Miniatures.

Check out our Harper's Weekly blog, dedicated to the Gettysburg refight for photos of the rest of my Rebel Infantry and photos of some of the troops from other participants in the game .

German HMG

Finished painting these two chaps along with their gun a while ago but only sorted out the basing the other day!

Trostle Farm, Gettysburg.

This is what I have been up to over the last couple of months.

Trostle farmhouse.

Made from cardboard balsa wood and plastic rod for the upper story rails for the Gettysburg refight game in July.

 There was also a barn and a wagon shed on the property but I think I will leave the farm as just the homestead.

 Picket fence made out of strips of balsa wood.

 

 By sitting the house in the corner of the field there is enough room for troops in the front and down one side.

  

  

The yard has been made big enough to hold a unit 4 stands wide  and the building can be removed altogether if more troops are required to be in the field.

I have also posted a few more photos on our Harper's Weekly blog showing the house in action and a bit of info on it's place in the great battle.

Happy New Year everbody

Lets hope it's a good one!

Pumas

Came across these the other day while sorting out some stuff.  Made and painted a few years back and turns out that these are all the WW2 vehicles that I own that I have made and painted! I do have a few others but they are not my work.

No idea what brand they are but I see I made them for 2nd Panzer Division.

 I'm picking that the plan was for late war!

WW1 German LMGs.

Sorted some photos today of the German Light Machine gunners I painted a while ago. These guys are from Renegade. Not bad figures, a mix of the German gun and the Lewis gun. I didn't really need all of them painted but thought I might as well do them as they are probably limited for use in other areas.
