Iron Brigade 2nd Wisconsin : ACW

In the background between games and other stuff I have been working through my second Iron Brigade Regiment  the 2nd Wisconsin. A really rubbish photo, these have more traditional light blue trousers rather than the dark ones from the previous Regiment, just gives a little variety on the table.
Apart from a possible Zouave unit this is pretty much is all my (cheap plastic😜) Union infantry painted up. I think another full army photo is required at some stage. I have come up with the idea to paint some mounted Regimental Officers on square bases to fit into units to give variety. The standards are split on two bases so I can have either two large units or split them into three smaller Regiments. I now need some more confederates as they are falling behind in numbers.

    They look fine to me Matt, despite being the cursed plastic that is. Treat yourself to some proper metal ones, go on!

    They look great, Matt! Understand about the lighting - I get that a lot too, but they do look fine nevertheless. Smart move on splitting the standards for multi-sized units.

      Thanks Dean, I think I am just not very patient when taking photos and need to take a bit more time....one day perhaps ?

    Unit looks good! It’s more work to do both sides due to keeping the forces relatively even. I know the dilemma well. 😀

    Lovely looking Union types,I don't know but you look away for a moment and you knock out loads of posts! My apologies. I'm with you on the plastic,it doesn't all have to be heavy metal!
    Best Iain
