Webmaster's Footnote

 

I am one of those guys who likes lots of different poses on their imaginary battlefields and therefore, I am a big fan of having the reverse color figures included in the playsets.  However,  those stupid gray guys with the Union flag and the dumb blue guys with the Confederate flag are a problem.  I solved that problem with some pretty simple conversions.  At first I thought I'd just have to throw the cannibalized correct color flagbearer figures away, but then I realized they could be reshaped into casualties.

I had so much fun with the flagbearers, I went to work on some charging guys, just switching hats and heads. If you like converting...there are tons of possibilities with these figures.  I wonder if Gary Dutko* has done any work with these guys?

*Gary Dutko is perhaps the King of Conte conversions.  You'll often see his WWII or Zulu war conversions for sale on eBay.
