Al's 54 mm collection with figures from United Empire, Pegaso, El Viejo
& Michael Roberts Ltd., Shenandoah.
The 2 additions (added 5/28/05) on left are as follows: left photo
depicts Andrea's Comanche 1850 with added feathers and trains to the
shield (sweet!); the photo on right depicts Michael Roberts vignette
"Moment in Time" (sculpted by Alan Ball) with reworked roach and
real feathers and Historex debris in stream (nice conversion work on
both!) Both are in 54 mm scale. Thanks Al!
This photo (added 2/26/06) on left depicts Pegaso's Iroquois Native
American propped on a Bayardi boulder. Creative conversion work
includes added hair decoration and real feathers! Thanks Al!
This photo (added 8/4/06) depicts La Merdiana's Compagnie Franche de la
Marine. painted primarily in Andrea and Vallejo acrylics with some
oil washes. The stump is from Bayardi. References (internet and Don
Troiani's Soldiers in North America, show differences in the hat, plain,
with a yellow border and tassel and/or with a Fleur de Lys emblem on the
front. Thanks Al!
These
photos (added 9/29/07) feature Native Americans by EMI (Sitting Bull) & Seil
(mounted Crow warrior). Both are painted primarily in acrylics
with some selected use of oils and enamels. Sitting Bull has “horsehair”
plume decorations made from painted thread and the Crow has the kit’s foil
fringe material replaced with wine bottle foil for a more in-scale
appearance. Thanks Al!
Al's "busting out" with these new additions added 12/30/10. using the
theme of Native Americans, these wonderfully painted busts include Young
Miniatures" Sioux and Blackfoot Raven Bearer, The Lost Battalion Cheyenne,
and La Meridiana's Huron. Notice the improvement in some of the
subtleties in Mr. LaFleche's work during these past 5-6 years? Look at
the detail of the artwork in the last two photos (on the right) depicting
Young Miniatures' Blackfoot Raven. Better than the Young box art for
this model? Thanks Al!

Bryant's well-done rendition of Shenandoah's Iron Brigade vignette.
Larry's magnificent conversion of the Surrender at Appomatox is an example
of why his commission work is very popular amongst collectors, under his
company's name "Moments in Time".
We use Larry to paint some of our box art on our own releases! Click

work. More of Larry's work:
These two photos, taken from Tom's extensive collection of Zouaves, depict

latest of Tom's work that include 200 Civil War figures, 50 of which are
