They look great! I have some free frames so I have to dip brush into paint and give it a try. I also want to play Fire and Fury Brigade where the bases are 1” wide And Fire and Fury Regimental with the same size bases. Actually they are 2 figures wide and 2 ranks deep so splitting into 2 figures wide would be better but that would give a 3 Bases x 2 ranks deep regiment but it wouldn’t look right so 4 or 5 wide would be best . Have you done a video showing split bases for ACW ?

I also paint my confederates in different colors, rag tag looking. Not becouse thats how they would have been, but becouse it looks better. I know historians will say "its the movies fault we think of them to be using homemade uniforms of different colors, its not 100% accurate" but i don't care, its a game, and i paint my minis the way i enjoy to watch them. ;)

@@leont66wargaming31 well an update, i spray painted 15 sprues with Grey Seer, and then washed them with nuln oil. After that a quick drybrush with grey seer. Now the straps, bedrolls and other detail await. It was way faster than i expected before hand. My plan now is to not go in and paint some trousers, hats or shirts in a different color, just focus on the straps, belts, faces and hands. So that every strip of infantry uniform is "confederate grey". After that stage is done, i will start to add some alternate colors to the hats and trousers. Gettysburg and Gods and Generals was both directed by Ronald Maxwell, lets just say that Gettysburg was his best historical movie. =)
