WELL DONE PAINT JOB SIR,TO BAD THEY DIDN'T INCLUDE THE MOUNTED OFFICERS AND ARTILLERY MENS.THE BASE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM.HAD THE MARX BATTLE SETS SINCE A KID BACK IN THE LATE 50S.STILL HAVE THE SET FROM SEARS 1972 REPOP..AS A GOOD OLD SOUTHERN BOY,THIS WILL ALWAYS MY FAVORITE SET.TAKE CARE
Great paint job! I still have my Blue and Gray set from 1963 but it's somewhat worse for wear after siting in the attic for 50 years. Recently bought this CTS set plus a BMC version. Hadn't considered painting them until I watched this video. How did you straighten out the muskets as some of my guys really need it? The hot/cold water trick? That hasn't worked that well for me with 1/72 Airfix guys.
Thank you 👍. Yes I just used the hot/ cold water trick to straighten out any bent parts. Though I don't think they were too bad with this set in that regard with the set I got.
Last couple of sets I got from Marx were awful . Not well defined and just big and blocky corners and it was so bad I almost suspect it was a third party fraud situation . But I sent them back to Marx and they gave me a refund so maybe not. I mean honestly they reminded me of the dollar store figures from the 1990s. Flashing isn't a strong enough word. There is enough extra plastic that you could have made another figure for every three figures you picked
Really brings em to life, and their personalities too! I always thought about doing it. Will may buy some new recasts and try it!
Superb Rebs! Great poses and paint job!
@@philRminiatures Thank you 👍
Your craftsmanship is brilliantly polished🍺🍺☘☘👏👏👍👍
Thank you very much. Cheers 👍
Lovely work on the paint job Mark 👍
Bits of detail brought out well, but still bright and colourful in classic toy soldier style 🍺
Thank you 👍
I bought a couple of sets of cowboys painted one set grey Confederate and the other set Union blue. Added to each a civil war cannon. Looks ok!
Nice work Mark, it's a vibrant set of figures, regards, Terry

Bellissimo
Thank you 👍
You should get the centennial set to compliment this figure set
Yes I would like to get that at some stage.
What colour did you use for "butternut"? Citadel's XV-88 or skragg brown or something else?
Hi ,I used humbrol 225 for the mustard type of butternut and humbrol 110 for the darker type.
