28mm Perry ACW Generals

I don't paint a lot of American Civil War. Actually I haven't painted any since I did Don's 15mm Fire and Fury Union army many, many years ago. It's one of the few periods I don't have much interest in building armies for. But this latest commission of some Perry Miniatures American Civil War personalities was a lot of fun.
6 Union commanders (packs ACW44 & 45) and 6 Confederate commanders (packs ACW 46 & 47).



Sickles, Howard, Hancock



Sykes, Doubleday, Meade



Longstreet, Lee, Hood

Heth, Stuart, Pickett

Fortunately my friend Mike, whose extensive 15mm ACW armies you've admired previously on this blog, loaned me some of his reference books. The customer only cared that I put Lee on a white horse, but I wanted to get a few more details right.

I went back to my usual technique with these figures and didn't use the Army Painter Dip. The Perry figures were, as usual, beautifully sculpted and exquisitely detailed. The customer is going to base them himself once he gets them home.
