ANTIETAM 17th September 1862
I am currently building up Mansfield’s Corps for my upcoming Antietam re-fight and the arrival of the new Hat figures has allowed me to proceed in style.
I really like these figures and they are very much in the the Perry manner.
I have kept the red sashes for the junior officers as the Corps was predominately inexperienced and yet to learn that symbols of rank equated to special target practise.
Unfortunately my order was troubled by mould flash and the bayonets especially are resistant to paint even after washing.
This is a disappointment but I will try priming/ PVA to get a better adhesion.
On to Richmond!
Lots to do.
