Sunday I finished putting the last of the American Civil War figures on wooden bases ready for decoration and later varnishing. I also had to do a quick paint job on five flags (which I am totally unhappy with and will get around to changing later … really). When all that was completed and the varnish was dry on my observation tower (see yesterday’s post here) I thought “exactly how many figures do I have”.
I laid them all out.
It looks a lot.I guess it is. A count of the figures tells me that I have:
- 188 stands of infantry
- 28 stands of cavalry
- 23 dismounted cavalry
- 7 stands of horse-holders
- 14 artillery pieces
- 10 limbers
- 14 general and aide stands
- 2 ammunition wagons
- 1 ambulance
- 4 advancing colonels (one mounted)
- 8 low on ammunition markers
- 16 disordered markers
- and one signal tower
Now all I have to do is decorate the bases for all these (and attach some flags to the standard bearers.
