I have just been trimming these guys off the sprue. They are wonderfully generic. Most could work as American civilians from about 1860 to about now!

I live in rural Kentucky, USA and there are guys who look just like these figures. More baseball caps and AR-15 style rifles, but plenty of them that look like this.

My intention is to use them as US militia for the period of about 1898 to now, and they should work just fine. I will mix them in with a few more modern figures and a few cowboy types to make the appear more American and more modern.

Another great set by Strelets.

I've managed to paint some up as ACW rebels. At that scale, with a little imagination and paint, one can manage the weapons.
