Painting American Civil War Epic Scale

I decided to get into the American Civil War Epic Scale. This scale is smaller than 15 mm, but bigger than 6 mm. I have no idea how the club is going to like the scale, but I think that it is pretty cool size. I asked Mike if he wanted to join me and he said yes. So I bought the American Civil War Starter Set. I than bought the Union Bundle and Mike bought the Confederate bundle. Not sure this was a great idea, but it is done.

Bernhard gave me some painting guides, so I decided to use this technique to paint the miniatures.

For the Union, I painted the entire uniform with Talassar Blue Contrast paint from Citadel, then I painted the jacket and hats with Talassar Blue with a little Black Templar contrast paint. 

This is the result:













I have 11 more regiments to paint from the starter set.

Painted: 7

Total for 2021: 145

Working on:  77 Union Stands from the ACW Epic battles starter set

Paint Star Wars Legion (Part 2)

 I decided to continue painting some Star Wars Legion expansion troops prior to starting the American Civil War Epic troops. I bought the Republic AT-RT Unit expansion set, the Republic Specialists Personnel Expansions and the ARC Troopers Unit Expansion.

I continued using Sorastro's painting YouTube channel for the AR-RT unit. He had no videos for the other two expansion sets.


These are pictures of the AT-RT Unit
