ACW forces building continues ... Union 1st Division for Bull Run

 The painting time has been coming now a bit more as the weather makes doing anything outside a waste and temperatures do not permit things like caulking to set - so blazing brushes it is.

here is seen the brigade of Schenck, with 1st Div
commander Tyler and Union army command MCDOWELL

Now forces are building and I can sense a momentum in my painting energy and desire to move this project forward to the tabletop.
