Never ceases to amaze how quickly you manage to knock out an army without compromising on the paint job. These look great, particularly en masse.

This a terrific army showcase . I have enjoyed the progress of your Union army , following updates of each regiment in the videos you have posted over the months . Seeing them all together is awesome . Very inspiring .

Really nice work Fraser, love seeing troops lined up for battle, all the best Garry

I love your army showcases. Fantastic quality and output.

Brilliant looking army VK! I love how you have a mix of manufacturers. It really adds a lot of variety. Thanks for sharing

Looking phenomenal VK. At the start I thought "wow thats a lot of lovely painted figures" then you panned the camera and there were more...and more! Top work as usual my friend.

Great Job! I loved the general waving his hat and yelling at the men in front of him on the stand. I think you have captured perfectly in that vignette the idea its a corner of a regiment in front of him.

Beautiful work Frazer! You've done an amazing job painting these and painting them so quickly. Wonderful work!

Grazer, it goes beyond saying that you are an inspiration to most of us and I enjoy watching your work progress. I look more forward to your episode than season nine of games of thrones 😉

Stunning. And given how quickly it's come together, even more impressive. Really inspiring stuff!

Ohh that army looks very impressive indeed. Looks like you have put a lot of work into painting those mini's .. Loved seeing them and watching the video : )

A really stunning force mate. Some fantastic pieces here and a lot of hard work. Well done mate. Top work 😁👍

Fantastic collection of figures mate, very inspiring

Another amazing looking army Fraser! Well done my friend!

Qué maravilla !!!! Gracias por la generosidad de compartir

Great results, and all the various manufacturers work together.

Great looking army Frazer! Nice to see them all together after your hard work.

Fantastic collection mate, beautiful brushwork and basing. There is something about ACW miniatures and the period that really in my opinion capture the grit of that war. Top job 👍😁

Stunning Fraser they look beautiful all set out

Stunning as ever Fraser. ACW is probably the only mainstream period I’ve not done. I’m not really a wargamer, but love to paint and collect. Seeing these I’m going to have to summon up all my willpower to not succumb.

Beautiful looking miniatures. I love how they all look together. As someone new to historical miniatures, besides enjoying seeing your miniatures I also am excited to learn about companies that I had not heard of before (Redoubt, Flags of War and Dixon).

Always an inspiration to us all , great stuff mate. All the best.Terry.

Fantastic work. Absolutely stunning.

Not sure how I missed this one, but this is a remarkable Union army, Fraser. Working on my Perry ACW currently :) Cheers.

Fantastic force Fraser, really very nice!

Absolutely love it. Been fancying ACW myself for ages now

Superb VK, you've done it again! Funnily enough this is my next project, albeit in Perry plastics.

The look splendid! Great painting skills.

Lovely work mate 👍

Lots of hard work marra but well worth it thanks for showing them . Regards Gav.

Frazer what a fantastic collection i hope that my army looks as fantastic as yours.

Wow. Fantastic work! Sit back and put the Vonkettle on. I'm really looking forward to seeing your next project - I've been watching in awe since your Jomsviking videos.

Beautiful force there mate! Been looking forward to this video. Plenty of inspiration for my Rebs I’ll be starting soon.

Wonderful collection mate 👍

Outstanding job, painting and basing, great looking figures and flags, what a superb parade!👍👍

Magnificent sir!

Simply fabulous!

They look awesome thanks for the inspiration. have now started with my own union army . Might try to get some Redoubt figures 🍻🍻👍🏻

Really beautifully painted. Love to see a massed army, were also all individuals are excellently painted. I think your last line of Zouaves are Perry plastics.

Really great work an amazing looking army.

Wow! Amazing work there mate. Is there any better feeling then lining up your troops on the table all at once & seeing them in all their glory!?! Take care mate!

What a stunning collection, Absolutely stunning 👍👍

Magnificent work.

Bob on those boys, great to see them all together 👍

Excellent parade there Fraser. Well painted troops.

dunno where to start they all look amazing i do love the trouser work and the cannons , all the best

Great looking troops as usual.

Beautiful collection, VK. Quite impressive. ~K

Lovely job, a decent force to get to the table.

Beautiful army Frazer, all those pretty zouaves.

Fantastic work mate. Also got a bit of a soft spot for Dixons.

Having watched you working your way through these units it's a real treat to see them all laid out in all their glory. I hope you are going to add some cavalry, and are you considering building some Confederate opposition? The Rebs you painted as commissions a while back were really nice. Those light blue zouaves (146th New York) are Perry plastics btw. Beautifully presented collection.

Great stuff. On to Richmond!

Outstanding!

The joy and contentment of the completion of such wonderful work must be almost indescribable. Joyful to see.

Fantastic!

Splendid looking army. Well done Sir.

Loverly looking collection.

Whooowee! Super duper stuff for sure! Get those boys to the table for battle. Excellent looking troops. Just marvelous.

Great looking army, thanks for sharing

Very very nice. I love the Dixon's Zouaves and Chasseurs. The Perry Zouaves with the lighter blue coats look like the 146th New York.

Wow! This is really bar raisingly well done! That’s dedication to a project! Real mass wargaming at its best. I have to say, the Zouaves steal the show for me.

well worth the graft look splendid all together

Always impressed by the quality and quantity of your work another great video

Brilliant Fraser. Good call on keeping all the brigades the same, I'll copy that idea if i ever get around to painting more ACW. Rebs next then? lol

Super job Frazer.

They are Superb Frazer each brigade looks really dynamic

Looks awesome - I can see I need to do a lot more for my brigades. Which regiments did you go for in the different Brigades - beside the Irish and the Iron Brigade?

Fantastic well done.A superb looking force now to see how they perform under fire👍🤗🐻

WOW what a showcase Absolutely Stunning work, were do you get the time Brilliant.

Amazing collection, just epic! Thank you for the inspiration. Will you paint the CSA too?

Great achievement for just one summer and look amazing 😊👍🏻

Magnificent collection! Interesting that the Redoubt don't look out of place with the others, as I had the impression they were pretty chunky. Have you tried any of the Steve Barber miniatures for ACW as yet?

Stunning stuff. A distant ancestor of mine was General Thomas Francis Meagher, l am sure he would have loved your figures.

Really nice army

Oh these are fantastic! Could you provide a link for redoubt and First Corps? I'd be interested in checking them out. As for the question of Hardee hats, it depends on what period in the war you're modeling. A lot of units that were issued this kind of uniform, by mid to late war, were no longer using Hardee hats and some of the other more dressy elements of the uniforms. The Hardee hats in particular were sometimes swapped for Forage Caps. Not sure if this was the case with the Iron Bde but I know thats how it went for similarly uniformed units.

Super collection and a particularly interesting mix from different manufacturers. Do you intend to add some cavalry?

Beautiful troops

Lovely job Fraser. Always great to see the force on mass! I agree it’s odd Dixon has gone out of fashion, they were the dog’s years ago

What a proper looking army

Great stuff Frazer. What’s next? 😉😂

Frazer they look great, interesting how you have mixed up not only the manufacturers but also the materials. Your going to need a big table to field this force. What are you using for your overall commander?

Fantastic work on the Union army, those will make for a very interesting game. What rules system are you going to use for the miniatures

Quality and quantity. Well done - you should be proud! Now just the same to do again in brown, grey and butternut ;)

So inspiring 😁👍😎❤️

A very nice Collection. Well done! :-) If you choose to do one more Brigade you can match my Confederates - McLaws Division, 1st Corps Dec, 1862 (Steve Barber Miniatures)

Crikey, you have more than me! Better paint job too. Have you done the Rebs?

Great looking army! That must be close to 500 models?

What a great looking union force Frazer. All you need now is a few rebs.....😅🤣😂

If remember correctly the battery b the 4th US artillery used kepis that is the battery with the iron brigade however the iron brigade volunteered guys for the guns a lot so having them wear Hardee hats isn't inaccurate.

Beautiful Army Mate. Im not familiar with ACW Nuances; i thought those 36 fig units were Battalions not Regiments? Is this the way you Organize your Napoleonics too?

Hey! New to your channel. I love your work, specially on the ACW stuff. You have inspired me to finish my own ACW hobby project. I really like the look of your greatcoats mix in with the rest. What company/website would you recommend for union greatcoats that would fits with a core army of ACW perry miniatures plastic?

Where are your flags from? Last regiment of Zoaves are from Perry. Would like to know how you get so many figures on one base and still manage to do the bases.

How should I approach painting the cannons?

The brigades on parade look great.

What colors did you use for the guns (barrels, metal, etc.)?

What size bases are you mounting your skirmishers on?
