Hi James - Good to hear from you and many thanks for your help with the photos. Hopefully they will appear below.
My ACW armies were the first I ever painted and gamed with starting over 20 years or more back. Over time some great new figures were subsequently released by Strelets and HaT that I gathered up ready to mix in with my existing collection when I had a chance. Here’s some pics of those figures that I have recently finished off. Many were painted for me or bought painted off ebay whilst some I painted myself as well as doing all the basing. Originally I used the Fire & Fury rules but will be trying Black Powder soon.
What’s left to do? Well I have now pretty much cleared my accumulated backlog of ACW figures that I wanted to add to my collection. Just some HaT marching Union troops I fancied having a go at to complete. I don’t have the eye sight or patience I once did to paint straps and fine details too well. So I decided to speed paint these by starting with undercoating black > dry brushing gray > painting the jacket dark blue and thereby not needing to paint the straps as the dry brushed undercoat will suffice. In essence I found it easier to paint mainly triangles of blue jacket rather than paint black straps over blue if I had done it the other way around.
