Union Cavalry Charge. American Civil War. Chancellorsville -1863

[spanner570]

As folks are posting old stuff, I thought I'd join in. Sorry to those who've seen the build before......but at least the pictures are new and sunny like!

I didn't want the group just charging along, so I came up with the idea of them being surprised by a ditch cum picket line, then being met by a volley of grape shot.......If anyone is wondering about the bloke on the left, he's been hit in the face by summat or other. Not slashing at an imaginary enemy.

Masterbox 1/35 figures and horses suitably chopped up and re-posed. The cotton bales are pieces of polystyrene wrapped with thread, and cocktail sticks for the picket line thingies.

















Thanks for looking.

Ron
