Epic ACW "Rebels and Patriots" Project - Union Skirmishers and Medium Artillery

 Here are two more stands done for the union force, one stand of union skirmishers from the Eskice 3d printed collection and one stand of Union artillery from the Wargames Epic Union sprue. 

I'm really happy with how they've turned out and I think going over after shading and making the pants pop a little more will really make them stand out opposite their confederate opponents. I have four more stands to do for my first union force that I'll be using for Rebels and Patriots and they'll finally be ready for battle!

Epic ACW "Rebels and Patriots" Project - First Stand of Union Sharpshooters

Completed the first stand of miniatures for my ACW Epic 15mm project to use in Osprey "Rebels and Patriots" games. This stand will be a unit of Skirmishers with the Sharpshooter upgrade and are modelled on Berdan's Sharpshooters for use in my Union force.

I'm fairly happy with how they turned out, this is still a really new scale for me so I'm trying to stop getting too into the details, I'm trying to keep the 3 foot rule in the back of my head so I'm not getting frustrated trying to paint a bayonet scabbard perfectly. The only thing that I'm a little miffed about is that the Testors Dullcote that I sprayed them with after put a little sheen on them that I'm not a fan of.

The models themselves are from Eskice miniatures and were purchased from a seller on ebay, but they look fairly decent with the miniatures from the Warlord Games ACW epic line.

Next up are three more stands of skirmishers, two for the confederacy and one for the union, and then I'll be getting into painting the line infantry which I'm a little nervous about because there are so many miniatures in a unit.
