Small project with Classic Toy Soldiers Union Infantry
I'm painting a firing line of Union Infantry by Classic Toy Soldiers with a few additions for their Confederate set. There are issues with the details the CTS goofed on or failed to add.
I have about eight more in other poses to paint. We'll see.
I like the head conversion to add variety; they all seem o be coming along nicely although I've become accustomed to seeing your troops all one colour now.
Very nicely painted. The hot water method can vary results wise especially with straightening things like rifles/ swords etc. A good idea is to have a right angle Piece , a bit of metal Strip bent into an "L" so when you´ve warmed the rifle or what ever you can press it into the Corner of the "L" (using a flat Piece of Wood/metal) and it gets it straight from both above and the side.
Nice looking figures.

ReplyDeleteHot water trick, thanks. I must try that myself!
