Forum Project Again!

Eric,
am not quite sure ...
 keppi of this has a light gray stripe at the top?
 if yes, then it could be a gunner it easy Crenshaw's battery from Richmond to be.
 The lower edge is dark blue (not black!)
 On the keppi also decoration (yellow) running with the seam of the substance ..
 The lieutenant needs another yellow ornaments on the side of the forearm.
 The collar are two parallel was yellow clips.

 The U.S. man, looks good too.

Please tell me if you find any big mistakes on the uniforms
I am totaly ignorant and only rely on a few internet pictures !

Wolfgang, Ah right now I've got it.  Thanks very much for the tip. 

[böckchen]

Roger,
the figures are chosen so that a Jenkie (U.S.) number that can be painted as a Rebel.
Thus arose the order that you have two equal confederates .....
The catalog is not the final decision but your quaint designing. 

But! 
Roger, no, you made no errors.
With a few brush strokes You're the winner ... 
Look for yourself!

  I'm sure you'll cope Jon.

Like you said in your previous post Jon with a bit of research there's plenty of options.

Not so much the colours Roger, more the size

Hmm... I got two Yankees and Jon has two Confederates. Someone wasn't paying attention when the sent these out. 

I wasn't sure which side they were from until I went to Wolfgang's website to find the figures as I couldn't read the numbers on the bases ; makes me wonder how I'm going to paint them!

Got mine from Brian when he and Nick came to visit us at Salute on Saturday
 Brian made me open the envelope there and then to see what I had got and they are;
CS38 Confederate infantry man marching, port arms.
CS51 Confederate officer in kepi advancing with pistol.

Having had a bit of a chat with Brian and Nick I have decided to paint both sides of the figures but do a different unit for each side.

Favourites so far are;

The officer; 1st US Sharpshooters (all green) & NY Zouaves (blue coat, red Kepi and trousers)
The Infantryman; probably Confederate state infantry (generic cadet grey & coloured facings)  and 79th New York regt (blue jacket & tartan trousers).

I'll get some pictures up when I start.

I have loads of ACW |Uniform reference books as it is one of my areas of interest so if you need any ideas or inspiration please feel free to get in touch.

Have a look in Gallery under Forum Malerei Projekte and you'll see some finished figures
