Hairs.
Just changing hairs and using different types and colors makes a HUGE difference. I did that the Legion X and the difference is very worth the trouble, no more clone army.

This is spectacular, Panos.  What a wonderful display of your collection!  It must have taken you forever to line them up, one false move and you would wipe out the whole infantry!  :o

I did not take too long to set up Joe, the line up is not to straight anyway, but I did have a couple of ''domino effects''..

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

Really impressive, Panos! I hope in the diorama they'll be displayed realistically and not just lined up like for a review! (Don't misread me, I think these pictures are fine to present this big army. Just too "organised" for a battlefield!)

By the way, I always wondered: is it accurate that every footman in the Union was equipped with a rifle and a handgun? I mean, it seems a bit expensive as an equipment for mere "canon fodder", doesn't it?
Just asking. Any spaecialist here? Elric maybe? Wesley?

Best, Arnaud

I believe some were equiped with relics from the war with Mexico.. Many men bought their own handgun..

Arnaud, good points! for the handguns, as tahra said, some were carrying their own guns, but I think a small sword was standard issue for the uniform.

As for the diorama, of course they will be displayed on various postures, althoug I doubt they will be all of them in the diorama as we ar going to exhibit a lot of other sets as well.

And don't forget that for both sides (especially for the south) uniforms were uniforms in the beginning, all nice and shiny. Even the horses matched in some regiments (the Black Horse)... After some time, any horse or mule would do (having to travel farther and farther away to get ANY replacement mount), and same with uniforms and weapons.
