Union Army

[Wolf Knight]

My confederate army is nort big , just round 150 or so soldiers with 3-4 guns if i remember correctly .. not a big army ... lots of bayoonaites though 

Are you going to use the light blue confederate cannons George? RememberI'll lend you my three confederate cannons for the diorama, mate

Great looking army Panos!  Even though I'm a southerner, I do like what you got.  Most enlisted did not have handguns.  Of course, some brought their own.  You could use the holster for the enlisted to hold their bayonet or a knife when marching.  They usually did not fix bayonets until late in battle if the enemy was close enough.  Only ideas, they look good as they are!

Thank you Elric!! Much apprecaite your feedback! A very good advice and info you have too! As i said, I'll bild a southern army later this year for you southerners

I like 'cloned' and shining new union troops too....beautiful, just beautiful!

..later on, I started to make sure none of them had the same combination hair/face/beard (I dont have 100 of each unit  ) and there are different calvary hats in the same colour...

Thanks for your feedback cheng!! As you said, not easy to make 150 different combinations on such an army, so let it be a cloned one  as for the hats, thats the only tan stetson hat DS had available, otherwise I asked for different ones and non were availble and they could only send me 20 of these, that why I asked Gordon for 30 more of them.

THis cavalry looks awesome Panos !!!!! and yeap i will use the blue cannons only and the blue wagons, only confederate stuff,

I wish playmobil could produce a belt that it could hold both a sabre and a  handgun.... I have only sabres on the cavalry men, as it was meant to be, but the officers need a hand gun... I tried many combinations with using various gunbelts but everything came out looking so funny...

I keep looking at these pictures sir wolf, this union army detachment looks awesome, i really like the red detailing in the cannon crews, they look spectacular!!!!

...
I tried painting the caps too, light blue for the infantry and red for the artillery but I so bad at painting details, staying in the lines, even using duck tape 

...

Painting those hats are hard... and the paint will eventually wear off from the top.
A tip, take off the sticker before painting.

That's a great looking Union army, Panos!  I really like how you've given the different branches their appropriate trim colors.  Well done!

Very impressive army, Panos. You just helped strengthen my desire to buy sets from the Western theme.
