American Civil War - Small Diorama
« on: August 21, 2013, 00:15:25 »
Today my wife gave me a break with the kids and I could put together this little part of my Union forces for a small ACW diorama.
I did the best I could because I had to setup and removal in less than three hours.
Hope you enjoy.
Regards
Leonardo

Cheng, my friend,
This is because officers and NCOs wore dark blue heavy coats and soldiers sky blue heavy coats.
If they wore sky blue coats, they also wore dark blue trousers.
