25mm ACW figures

25mm ACW figures
Last year at Warfare I pick up 20 ACW figures from Parkfield Miniatures to beef up some of my ACW regiments .Then put them to one side like you do and started to paint one or two other bits.
Now most of us wargames are sad and one thing we do is make lists of army's we have having got out mine what figures shall I put them in to or do I make one regiment out of them . Yep that's what I will do Confederate need more Regiments ( Ok I got a box of Perry's plastic USA figures at Warfare as well) So now I need command to go with them Sunday night order them on line Tuesday got them by noon good service from Parkfield .
Shelf isolation give me more time to paint figures sines I was a young man in my 20s back in the 60s so the figures did not take to lone to do  when the wife dose not give me jobs to do round the house .
