The Battle of Chancellorsville took place in May 1863 during the American Civil War.....There were a total of over 30,000 casualties from both sides....
The Confederate lines have been breached by Union cannon fire. The cavalry, seeing an opportunity are charging the gap......Full of confidence, they don't spot the Confederate artillery waiting for the right moment.
I have tried to capture the moment the Rebel guns open up on the attackers.........
The kit is 'Attack!' a 1/35 Master Box offering. Brilliant kit, loads of detail and nicely sculpted, 'till I hacked at it, that is! I have added some 'Hair' to the horses manes and tails to break the plastic up a bit. The horses reins are bits of thin paper and the rope thingies dangling from the troopers sides are made from sewing thread.
Thanks for the encouraging posts during the building of this, and thanks for looking in at the finished model.....I hope you like it.
Cheers all,
Ron

I beg your indulgence with this last set of pictures, but my wife bought me one of those portable camera studio thingies for Chrizzy and she insisted I try it out......You know how it is!!
These pictures are the result.
