I managed to finish the first rebel regiment today and thought I would share it. It is kind of small, but painting smaller units helps to keep me motivated.

I went for a ragged and nonuniform look for this regiment which adds to the fun of painting confederate forces I think.

They are not meant to represent any specific unit as I prefer to keep my figures more or less generic so I can use them in any battle I wish. I do plan to paint up some tiger zouaves though at some point in the future.

The miniatures are Peter Pig and the flag is GMB. They are based for Regimental Fire & Fury.

Thats a beautiful Confed regiment, well done, just a suggestion, you should allow people to join your blog so they can follow your progress, its a good way to create community and it also helps encourage you to keep on the hobby, just sayin…
Good job, Jonas. My own Peter Pig units are also based 3 figures per base and, if I say so myself, are well painted and look good – but yours are technically better. Bravo! As I write my daughter tells me March 2013 (according to one source – another suggests February) is the 150th anniversary of the establishment of the 54th Massachusetts (of the film 'Glory') Union regiment.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've added the extra functionality now.
They look top-notch. The rag-tag feel of the regiment is exquisite and the brush work and attention to detail is stunning. Well done!
Stunning … I'm painting up some Peter Pig miniatures at the moment. What paints are you using? how did you do the horse!
Hi Justin, I use Vallejo Model Colors primarily. I try to find combinations of colors that work well together like for example: 962 Flat Blue and 901 Pastel Blue for the trousers.
