resin scenic base. Detailed kit
description & history - Turner Ashby was
known as -The Black Knight of the Confederacy -The Carolina Miniature kit of
Ashby on horse may be the first mounted kit honoring Turner Ashby. The horse
was cast with special care. There are only a few kits with a horse with both
front feet off the ground. Many kits use some ground effect under a front
hoof to give the horse's back legs support. A piano wire was
cast inside each of horse's back leg(s) which will prevent any possibility
of sagging in the future. The 54mm pewter kit is unpainted, and comes with
its own resin base. Artist Doug Cohen deserves special mention for his
painting and his work on the horse. Kit includes some photo etch bridal
parts and horse shoes as well as the famous fox horn Ashby used to sound the
charge and a feathered plume for Ashby's hat. |

cast in lead free white metal pewter and
resin scenic base. Detailed kit
description & history - Fighting Dick
Anderson was the ranking Confederate General from South Carolina. General
Lee held Anderson in high regard referring to him as his "noble soldier"
after the role he played at Chancelorsville. He became a Corp commander
after Longstreet's was wound in the Wilderness. Fighting Dick was also the
hero of Spotslyvania Court House arriving in time to prevent Grant from
turning Lee's army. It was at this time Lee offered Anderson, the fallen JEB
Stuart's, command of the cavalry of the Army of Northern Virginia. After
Longstreet's return to duty, Anderson commanded what was called Anderson's
Corp at Petersburg. Anderson is unpainted and cast in 54mm pewter. He uses
the same horse (cast with piano wire in his back legs for strength) and
torso as the Ashby kit above. The only difference is the head and his LeMat
both sculpted by Doug Cohen. |
