ACW Forces assembly continues - Confederate Army of the Potomac for Bull Run 1861

 The assembly of ACW forces for the first battle of Bull Run continues.

This time the Confederate Army of the Potomac


P.G.T. Beauregard commanding

Again I have gone with some different uniform colors, so that the units have a slightly difference when comparing them so they can be told apart on the tabletop.

More subtle this time with the pants stripes and the blankets.

inks done

mid-tones (top)
highlights and details (bottom)

all flocked
the photos of the base only did not turn out

Now all that remains is J.E. Johnston's Army of the Shenandoah, which will be started by the time this blog post goes out.

20+ years of delay are coming to a close ... by the end of February I hope to have played a game.

Looking good! Sometimes these sorts of plans need time to age, like whiskey....
